SJ9173NE ST MICHAEL'S TERRACE 886-1/10/198 (West side) 17/03/77 Nos.5 AND 6

GV II

Pair of houses, formerly (though probably not originally) a single dwelling. Late C17 with C19 alterations. Coursed and squared rubble with stone-flagged roofs and internal timber framing to No.6. No.6 forms the principal building on the site, and No.5 was possibly built as a subsidiary to it - the 2 buildings are linked by a timber-framed bridge. EXTERIOR: No.6 is 2-storeyed, raised in brick during the C19, a 3-window range modifying a 2-unit plan. Present entrance in centre, the flanking casement windows of 2 and 3 lights probably late C19 insertions. Upper windows similarly inserted. No.5 is a small single-celled building at right angles and linked by bridge at first-floor level to No.6. Present entrance in gable wall, which has fixed light 9-pane window to ground floor, and 2-light casement above. Blocked window in apex of gable. Former doorway now a window in west wall, with 2-light stone mullioned window alongside. INTERIOR: plan of No.6 has been slightly modified by the partitioning of the main hall to form entrance hall and service rooms to rear, but the moulded cambered bressumer of the former inglenook, and its chamfered post survive. C19 inserted corner fireplace in former parlour, which was possibly originally unheated. Enclosed staircase to rear of parlour. Internal square panelled timber-framing, and queen post roof, modified when the building was raised in height to incorporate a full upper storey. Inside No.5, cambered bressumer of former inglenook survives against the south gable.
