Description



WEYMOUTH

SY6684 ELWELL STREET, Upwey
873-1/6/599 (North side)
14/06/74 Nos.74 AND 76
(Formerly Listed as:

GV II

Two houses in row. Early C19. Squared and coursed Portland
rubble, painted at the front, concrete tile. A modest pair of
cottages, each with a rear gabled wing. Formerly thatched;
thatch remains under the tiling for much of the roof.
2 storeys, 2 + 1 windows; 3-light timber casements with
horizontal glazing bar, and narrow mullions. The windows to
No.74 are carefully detailed replacements. No.74 has a
part-glazed door under a C20 glazed porch, to the left, and
No.76 a central part-glazed door in a C20 gabled glazed porch.
Right gable stack to No.74, and gable stacks each side to
No.76.
INTERIOR: both dwellings have very low ceilings, and thatch
remains under the tiling. No.74 has some stone-flag flooring
at the rear, and a winder stair, partly enclosed by original
matchboard partitioning. The gabled wing has 3-light original
casements.
No.76 has a central cross-passage; a transverse beam continues
through to the room to the right, which has a rebuilt
bressumer fire with bread-oven. The rear wing has a
stone-flagged floor and a heavy transverse beam. The collar
roof has roughly hewn principals.
Early engravings show that these houses were built by 1824,
but not in the late 1790s.
