153, High Street

No. 153 High Street is a house that has been converted into a disused workshop. It dates from the late 16th century and was remodeled in the late 18th century, with further alterations made in the mid-19th and 20th centuries. The building is timber-framed, featuring painted brick and a rendered rear wing topped with a corrugated asbestos roof. It has a plinth, a wooden gutter, and a single coped gable.

The structure stands three storeys tall and has a total of seven windows arranged in a 3x4 pattern. There are three segment-headed glazing bar windows and three smaller flat-headed two-light casements above. Below, to the left, there is a flat-headed cart entry, and to the right, five narrow barred windows. The rear wing has four 19th-century round-headed glazing bar windows on the right side, with a similar window above the entry.

Inside, there are fragments of the original timber-framing, including first-floor posts and ceiling beams, along with a jetty plate. On the upper floor, sawn-off joists and some stud partitions are visible. Fragments of framing can also be seen on the first floor, suggesting that more of the original framing may still be hidden within the walls at this level. The building was formerly known as Dunwell's Forge.
