Basclose, 56 fore street, grade ii*. A house of 3-room and through- passage plan, facing s onto fore st. With the service end to the left (w). A single-room block projects from the service room to the rear. It is probably 16c with major late 16c and 17c improvements, one of which is dated by a stone plaque on the lateral chimney stack reading" ic 1627". This probably involved provision of a first floor to the hall, to judge by the double chimney shaft. The fabric is plastered cob on stone rubble footings with stone rubble chimney stacks (2 gable ends, one front lateral). The front lateral stack has fine beerstone quoins and is virtually complete save for a small brick cap. The first floor windows are probably 17c oak frames. The most attractive house on fore street.(for full see description see list) (nmr, citing doe).

The side-chimney position, as at Basclose, became very popular in the 16th- and 17th centures, when earlier halls were remodelled to provide fireplaces and upper floors.
