6 Well Street including former workshop to rear

The property comprises a house with a former workshop to the rear, dating from the late 18th century and later. The main range is situated centrally and is flanked by projecting gable-fronted cross-wings, which are not symmetrical. The main range is a single storey with an attic, while the cross-wings are two storeys high.

The cross-wings retain timber framing to their gables, with the remainder of the front elevations rendered in a roughcast finish. The eastern side of the left-hand cross-wing is constructed of whitewashed rubble stone. The roof is slate-covered, with a brick ridge stack to the main range and a rendered stone plinth. The right-hand cross-wing has a reconstructed and set-back ground floor. The gable is jettied and supported on a bressumer, carried on a pair of early 19th-century slender cast iron posts. The upper storey features close studding, with jowled posts, a tie-beam and cambered collar, containing a late 20th-century four-light small-pane wooden window under a hipped canopy. A plain-glazed window is located on the left-hand return, with a top-hung light on the right-hand return. A shop front is positioned beneath the jetty, featuring replaced small-pane glazing and some earlier woodwork. The shop front has a central glazed door with a three-pane overlight, within a moulded and fluted doorcase, and flanking windows with fluted outer posts above stonework. The main range has a steeply pitched roof and a lobby entrance to the left of centre, with a glazed door and three-pane overlight in an early moulded doorcase, topped by a flat porch canopy raised on brackets. To the right of the entrance is a sixteen-pane hornless sash window in a moulded frame, and a gabled attic dormer with a late 20th-century two-light small-pane wooden window. The left-hand cross-wing has close studding above the tie-beam, incorporating diagonal braces, a collar and late 20th-century render beneath the tie-beam. An inset entrance leads to a through-passage, containing a half-glazed panelled door and sidelight. To the right is a small-pane top-hung window replicating a sixteen-pane sash, and a smaller sixteen-pane hornless sash to the centre of the upper storey. The eastern side of the left-hand cross-wing mirrors the upper storey arrangement, with the stonework slightly corbelled out to the right.

To the rear are a number of mid-to-late 20th-century extensions. A former workshop, linked by an addition to the adjacent shop (number 4), is situated to the rear. It is a two-storey, three-window range of whitewashed rubble stone under a slate roof, featuring a boarded door in the far left and three irregular small-pane wooden windows under segmental heads. Irregular wooden windows are positioned above, close to the eaves, with a tall window to the east gable and a ventilator to the ridge.

The cross-wing to the right contains a shop with a deep-chamfered spine-beam, and an added block is located to the rear. The main range’s lobby entrance leads to a stone fireplace facing west, with a chamfered timber lintel. The partition wall above is close-studded timber framing. The ceiling incorporates a medium-chamfered spine-beam with ornate stops, with a square spine beam to the north, likely a replacement. A post on the west side is slightly jowled. A modern staircase is located to the rear. The cross-wing to the left features imitation timber framing and a doorway to the east side leading into the through-passage, with early beams in the ceiling. Upstairs, most of the detail is covered with plaster. Above the west shop is a tie-beam supported on a slightly jowled post and a long beam to a wall-plate.
