84, High Street

No. 84 High Street is a house that has been converted into a house and shop. It was built in the early 19th century and features a 20th-century shop front. The building is constructed of brown brick in Flemish bond and has a pantile roof. It has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a central entrance hall flanked by two rooms at the front and a kitchen wing to the rear left. The structure is three storeys high and has three symmetrical bays, with the shop front inserted to the left.

The entrance features a doorcase with reeded pilasters and a frieze, carved roundels at the corners, a moulded cornice and hood, and a round-headed opening with a carved fan motif in the spandrels. The door is a 20th-century part-glazed design beneath a moulded lintel and a plain fanlight in a panelled reveal. To the right of the entrance is a 20th-century window with a raised sill beneath an original stucco flat arch. The first floor has original window openings with sills and stucco flat arches, and there is a fire insurance plaque to the right. The second floor features shorter windows with similar sills and arches, although all windows have unsympathetic 20th-century glazing. The building has a moulded wooden eaves board and a hipped roof, with stacks on the side walls.

Inside, the entrance hall has a ribbed architrave around the front door, a dentilled plaster ceiling cornice, and a pilastered round-headed opening leading to the stair hall. The open-well staircase has a slender ramped corniced handrail, slim column-on-vase balusters with square knops, turned newels, and profiled cheek-pieces. The ground floor right features ribbed plasterwork frieze, while the first floor right has a similar ribbed frieze and a pilastered chimney-piece with brackets. An unusual original chimney-piece on the first floor front left includes a ball ornament and an alcove for the mantelshelf. Some decorative motifs in the interior are similar to those found at 5 Cross Street. The building is depicted with a shopfront in an illustration from 1858. It is included for its group value.
