4- and 12-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows to 1st floor N and to W, modern plate glass glazing elsewhere. Modern concrete tiles. Coped and rendered stacks with some cans and thackstanes; ashlar-coped skews and ropework moulded scroll skewputts.
INTERIOR: not seen 1998 (see Notes).
BOUNDARY WALLS: rubble boundary walls.
It is thought that there is a datestone to the rear of No
15 Main Street, and that it retains its circular staircase. Reinstatement of traditional glazing would greatly enhance this fine 18th century building sited opposite the church of St Mary By-The-Sea. It is listed, despite late glazing and roofing, for its early date and survival of essential traditional form.
