house

Terraced two-bay two-storey house, c.1795. Renovated and refenestrated, c.1980, with replacement timber shopfront inserted to ground floor. One of a group of three (and possibly originally one of a larger group). Gable-ended roof (shared) with slate. Clay ridge tiles. No chimney stacks. Cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast walls. Unpainted. Square-headed window openings to first floor. Stone sills. Replacement timber casement windows, c.1980. Replacement timber shopfront, c.1980, to ground floor with pilasters, fixed-pane display windows and glazed timber door having timber fascia over with triangular-headed consoles. Road fronted. Concrete flagged footpath to front.

This house, one of a group of three and possibly originally part of a larger group of houses, has been extensively renovated in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of much of the original fabric, yet retaining most of the original form to the first floor. The house is of social interest as one of the earliest remaining houses on Main Street. The replacement shopfront to ground floor is not a positive addition to the composition and a future shopfront might be installed in keeping with the proportions of the original building. The house is of importance for continuing the established streetline of Main Street, and for contributing to the varied roofline of the terrace.
