Description


PORTLAND

SY6873 HIGH STREET, Fortuneswell 969-1/3/110 (South side) 24/09/53 No.141 with boundary walls, piers and gate (Formerly Listed as: HIGH STREET Nos.141-145 (Odd) Gate Piers, wall to road and wrought iron gates)

GV II

House in row. Late C17 or C18 origins, but re-fenestrated in early C19. Coursed and squared stone, stone slate roof. A wide-frontage house which seems to have been sub-divided at one stage into 3 cottages, (141-143), now again one property. Two storeys and attic, 3-windowed. Two small hipped dormers with C18 2-light casements above 16-pane sashes; three C20 six-panel doors in flush surrounds. Two brick ridge stacks. At the left end there is evidence of a former wide window with surround, similar to those formerly in 137/139 (qv). The back has a central decaying gabled dormer over an area of plain slated roofing, and a 16-pane sash below. Interior not inspected. Subsidiary features: low rubble wall to rough saddle-back coping across front boundary has central pair of plain stone piers with C20 figure crestings, containing a wrought-iron reticulated pattern gate probably from the C18 or early C19. Part of the best remaining group of houses in Underhill, with an exceptionaly complete frontage still retaining its stone slate roof.
