Description

29 Main Street is a traditional cottage from the later 18th century, featuring a single storey and attic with a three-bay rectangular plan. The building has undergone later additions and alterations. It is constructed from tooled, coursed sandstone with droved dressings and has gabled timber dormers topped with terracotta finials.

The west elevation is symmetrical, with a replacement window in the center of the ground floor where there was formerly a doorway, and a window in each of the flanking bays. There are dormers in the left and right bays of the attic floor. The south elevation is obscured by an adjoining building, while the east elevation was not visible in 1998. The north elevation is asymmetrical, harled, and features a single window off-center to the right of the attic floor.

The cottage predominantly has four-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is made of grey slate with a terracotta ridge and stone skews. The gablehead stacks are coped, harled, and cement-faced, with circular cans on the stack to the south. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron. The interior was not seen in 1998.
