Description
Nos. 8 and 9 High Green is a substantial house that has been divided into two dwellings. The building is dated 1696 on the doorway located on the right side, with mid-19th century alterations. It features roughcast and painted masonry, a graduated green slate roof, and roughcast brick and stone stacks. The front of the building is three stories high and consists of seven bays, with raised and chamfered quoins. No. 8 has five bays, while No. 9 has two bays.
On the ground floor, No. 8 has a six-panel door with a radial fanlight set in a round-arched surround, flanked by mid-19th century canted bay windows. No. 9 features a late 20th century glazed door and a similar bay window to the left. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows, with those of No. 8 being renewed, all in raised surrounds. The second floor windows have double-chamfered surrounds, originally with a central mullion, and now feature square four-pane sashes. The low-pitched roof has coped gables with shaped kneelers, and there are corniced stone stacks on the left gable and ridge, with the right gable stack rebuilt in brick.
The right return of the building has a possibly repositioned and blocked doorway with an elaborate shouldered and eared bolection-moulded surround, and a raised tablet above the doorhead inscribed with "16 HE 96" (Henry Eden).
Inside No. 8, the ground floor cross-passage has a blocked doorway in a bolection-moulded surround, several two-panel doors, some with architraves, and a four-flight dogleg staircase with a moulded closed string, grip handrail, and some original barley-sugar balusters. There are attached outbuildings to the rear, but they are not of special interest.
