Exterior Description And Setting

Plain two storey, terrace house of c.1865 set on the SE side of Main Street. The front facade is finished in lined render, the rear in rough cast. The main roof is covered with Bangor blue slates and two yellow brick chimneys (one shared with No.11). Mixture of cast iron and PVC rw goods. The front (SE) elevation is asymmetrical and has a slightly right of centre timber panelled door with plain fanlight. To the right of this is a very large flat arch coach door with plain sheeted double timber doors with raised surround and cornice. To the left of the entrance door is a sash window with Georgian panes with three similar windows to the first floor. The rear of the main house has two sash windows, with Georgian panes to the window to the far right and margins to the window to the left of this. To the far right (above the flat arch) is a modern looking casement bathroom window. To the rear is a large single storey flat roof extension with modern windows. This extension is sandwiched between a gabled former outbuilding, which now contains the glazed entrance door to the kitchen extension.

Historical Information

The OS maps of 1834 and c.1860 show a smaller building roughly on the site of No.11a and party on the site of No.11, so it is likely that Nos.11 and 13 are post 1860 in date. A photograph of Main Street dating from c.1920 shows that there was what appears to be a pediment above the large coach arch to No.13.
