Details
Two C17 houses, altered in the late C18 and refronted in the late C19. Once a public house named the Bell and Crown; latterly commercial premises.
MATERIALS: painted brick with moulded stone eaves; limestone rubble, part-rendered, to the rear. The roof is tiled and has moulded axial chimney stacks to the rear wing and to the left.
PLAN: L-shaped plan with rear single-storey infill.
EXTERIOR: of two storeys plus attics, presenting a four-window range to the High Street. The shallow canted central angle of the front marks the division between the former houses. The façade of the former public house has two round-arched doorways with fanlights and four-panel doors, the right-hand doorway is flanked by three-centre-arched windows with moulded stops and paired round-arched plate-glass windows. The head of each of these openings incorporates a vermiculated keystone. Above the three right-hand openings is a moulded cornice on four enriched brackets which is similar to the cornice over a former doorway in the right-hand return. The two left-hand windows on the ground floor have flat-heads with vermiculated keystones, thin imposts, and tripartite sashes. On the first floor are four horned two-over-two pane sashes. To the rear is a rubble stone wing with a steep roof and angled gable, and a later curved brick single-storey addition.
INTERIOR: altered in the late C20. The attic has an early-C19 open-well stair with ramped rail, a column newel and stick balusters.
