Description


House, now apartments, with a shop below, and preparation rooms to rear for the use of the butchers occupying the shop. Around 1830, probably retaining an earlier core.  
 
MATERIALS: constructed of cob and stone mix, which has been plastered over. There is a gabled-end slate roof with deep, overhanging eaves and a right-hand end chimney stack with brick shafts.  
 
EXTERIOR: three storeys with a two-window range to the front. There are strip pilasters to the left and right-hand sides, as well as a plat band between upper storeys. Both the first and second floors have two tripartite hornless sash windows, with two panes to the outer sashes and six to the central sashes. There is a late-C20 shop front to ground floor. The brick wing to the rear has C19 and C20 fenestration.  
 
INTERIOR: exposed internal cross beams appear to date from the C19 but could be earlier.

History


30 and the neighbouring 32 (Grade II-listed) were built as one, and subsequently subdivided.
