Description
30 Main Street is a former schoolmaster's house built in 1876. This two-storey, three-bay building features a T-plan layout with gabled bays at both the front and rear, as well as gabled dormers and bipartite windows. The exterior is constructed from squared, tooled, snecked sandstone and includes a base course and chamfered window openings. The central front door is a two-leaf timber-boarded design with a fanlight, set within a shouldered, chamfered architrave. To the left of the door is a bipartite window, while the right side has an advanced gable with bipartite windows on both floors. The east elevation has a blind gable at the center and a fenestrated bay to the right, featuring a gabled dormer on the first floor. The north elevation shows an advanced gable to the left with a single-storey gabled service wing, and a flat-roofed 20th-century extension at the re-entrant angle, along with a staircase window above and a bipartite window with a gabled dormer to the right. The west elevation is a blind gable.
The building has timber sash and case windows with plate glass glazing on the south side and predominantly four-pane glazing at the rear. There are shouldered wallhead stacks with some short clay cans, and the roof is finished with ashlar-coped skews and graded grey slate.
Inside, there is a half-glazed timber panelled lobby door with decorative frosted glass. The staircase features cast-iron balusters with a mahogany handrail. Plaster ceiling roses adorn the hall and principal ground-floor rooms, and there are moulded cornices and timber-panelled interior doors throughout.
The property is enclosed by a saddle-coped random rubble boundary wall topped with spear-headed railings. It includes a cast-iron foot-gate with cast-iron gatepiers, and late 20th-century two-leaf gates for vehicle access.
