Nos 16 & 16a Fore Street in Silverton are 2 dwellings of the 17th century, possibly with an earlier core. Plastered cob with stone footings. Half-hipped thatched roof. Probably a 3-room, through-passage plan, with lower end front wing, forming an L-shaped plan overall. Truncated external lateral stack with bake-oven bulge to inner face of wing; external rear lateral stack with 2 slate set-offs and brick shaft. 2-storeys. Front: wing with newel stair turret to end of front wing; 19th century 2-light casement windows to this elevation; main front with one 18th or 19th century 3-light casement window to first floor and another to ground; pair of front doors under shaped lintel. Another door to the right of this. Interior of No 16a with 2 roughly-chamfered cross beams with ideterminate stops; roof with straight principals, collars lapped and side pegged with carpenter's marks, which is odd for joints of this sort. Other details: LBS No 95432.
