49, HIGH STREET (See details for further address information)

A pair of houses, a former bank, and a shop, dating to the mid-18th century, with possible earlier origins. The building has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. Constructed primarily of brick, it is now rendered, and features a pantile roof. The building is arranged in a U-shape, comprising a three-room north front facing the Market Place, a three-room wing to the rear left facing High Street, and a two-room wing to the rear right.

The north front has two storeys and four first-floor windows. A plinth runs along the base. The entrance to the right of centre retains ornate detailing from an early 19th-century doorcase, although the pilasters are missing. The remaining elements include reeded brackets supporting dosserets with guttae, a ribbed frieze, a moulded cornice, and a hood over a segmental-headed opening containing a 20th-century double door and original fanlight with latticed glazing bars set within a beaded-panelled reveal. A similar hood is present at the entrance to the right, but it features a blind, flush fanlight and a shallower reveal for a 20th-century door. Single, canted bay windows with four-pane sashes flank the entrances, featuring two-pane side sashes, sills, wood pilasters, moulded cornices, and flat hoods. To the left is a late 19th to early 20th-century rectangular, flat-roofed ground-floor bay window with a full-width tripartite front window and side windows with glazing bars, all beneath a plain frieze, modillioned cornice, and hood. The first floor has four-pane sashes in flush wooden architraves with sills. A raised gable is on the right, while the roof is hipped to the left. Axial and end stacks are present.

The right return features a rear wing with a first-floor 12-pane sliding sash and deep, stepped eaves. The left return has three first-floor windows. A large central 12-pane window is beneath a plain frieze, flanked by a late 19th to early 20th-century shopfront to the left, with a half-glazed panelled door and a four-pane transomed window. The shopfront details include panelled pilasters, consoles with acanthus leaf ornament, a modillioned cornice, and a hood. A tripartite shop window is on the right, featuring glazing bars, carved consoles, a plain frieze, modillioned cornice, and hood. An angled 20th-century door is in a doorcase with a modillioned cornice and hood in the right corner. The first floor features a pair of 20th-century two-light casements with sills to the left and a blind window panel with a raised architrave and sill to the right. The interior has not been investigated. At the time of resurvey, number 49 High Street was unoccupied.
