Description
17 Main Street in Mochrum is an earlier 19th-century single-storey cottage with an attic, featuring three bays and situated at the end of a terrace row. The exterior is made of painted rubble with painted margins, and it has painted rusticated quoins on the north side.
On the east elevation facing Main Street, there is a doorway at the center with a deep-set modern door and a fanlight above it, along with steps leading up to the door. The windows in the outer bays have been enlarged, particularly the one on the left. A modern full-length box dormer window is present as well.
The south elevation is adjoined to No 15 Main Street, which is listed separately. The north elevation is gabled and blank, featuring modern glazing. It has red sandstone coped skews and scrolled skewputts that are shared with the south side. The cottage has broad painted rubble stacks with red sandstone quoins and copes, also mutual to the south, and a gablehead facing north. The roof is covered with small purple slates.
