Summary

House with shop below, forming part of a long row. Possible C17 or C18 core, refronted and altered in around 1830.

Reasons for Designation

32 Fore Street is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:

Architectural interest:

* dating from around 1830, where there is a presumption in favour of listing buildings which retain a significant proportion of their historic fabric; * a restrained, well-proportioned façade which survives well.

Historic interest: * one of a group of listed buildings in Fore Street which together demonstrate the architectural development and diversity of the town.

Group value: * with 30 Fore Street, with which it was built as one.

History

32 and the neighbouring 30 (Grade II-listed) were originally built as one and later divided.

Details

House with shop below, forming part of a long row. Possible C17 or C18 core, refronted and altered in around 1830.

MATERIALS: constructed of cob, stone and brick mix, which has been plastered. The gabled-end slate roof has deeply-overhanging eaves.

EXTERIOR: three storeys with a one-window range to the front. To the first floor, there is a canted window that rises to the lintel of the second-floor canted window. Both are hornless sash windows, with four panes per sash to canted faces, and eight to front face of the bays. There is a C20 shop window to the ground floor. There is a low two-storey rear wing with end stack and brick shaft, fielded panelled door, one hornless sash window, and a C20 casement window to the first floor.
