15-19, High Street

This building comprises a house, now a house and shop, located at 15-19 High Street. The section at 17-19 dates from the early to mid-18th century, with a 20th-century shop front on the right-hand side. No. 15 was built in the early to mid-19th century, matching the style and materials of its neighbour. The building is constructed of brown brick in English bond, with the lower courses rendered. It has a pantile roof.

The plan features a 2-room central lobby entrance to No. 17/19, with a single-room and entrance-hall addition to its left (No. 15). A later rear outshut was also added. The building is two storeys high with an attic, and has three windows on the first floor.

No. 17/19 has a recessed six-fielded-panel door beneath a segmental stretcher arch. It also has a 20th-century casement in an original segmental-arched opening and a shop front with a door and single window, all under a plain frieze. No. 15 has a similar door, and a 16-pane sash window in a flush wooden architrave under a segmental header arch. A two-course brick band runs along the first floor. First-floor windows are 16-pane sashes in flush surrounds. The eaves feature a stepped and cogged brick cornice, and the raised right gable has tumbled-in brickwork. A large axial stack is present. There is a blocked first-floor opening and a small attic board door on the right-hand elevation.

The interior contains chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, although it has not been fully investigated. The building was empty and disused when last inspected.
