Details

Formerly listed as 48 and 48a High Street.

Former house built in the early C16. Altered, divided, and re-fronted in the mid-C18. There are two C20 shop fronts.

MATERIALS: rendered with stone dressings; the right-hand return wall is of limestone rubble. The roof is covered in plain clay tiles.

PLAN: single-depth plan.

EXTERIOR: two storeys with an attic, and a four-window range. The C20 shop fronts have moulded brackets to their fascia in two sections originally of three lights each, with two doorways to the bays at the centre of the building and one to the right (north-east). The first-floor windows have keyed architraves to six-over-six-pane sashes. There is a deep C18 moulded cornice beneath a parapet. The rear has a wide two-storey central wing with a hipped roof below the ridge.

INTERIOR: (not inspected 2021) at ground-floor level there is an early-C16 two-light, four-centred stone window and a left-hand, four-centred door with a rebate and iron hinges in the rear left-hand wall. The RCHME survey (1970) reports a C16 roof of seven bays with trusses comprising cambered tie beams and collars, and to a first-floor room an C18 plaster ceiling divided into squares by moulded ribs. Other features of note include panelling, fireplaces, the staircase, and doors.
