29, High Street

No 29 High Street is a house with an adjoining former shop range, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century, though the shop has earlier origins. The building is constructed of red brick with pantile roofs, and features coursed limestone rubble at the plinth of the house and on the sides and rear of the shop. There may be timber framing in the shop, as some ends of first floor joists are exposed at the rear.

The house is three storeys tall with a cellar and has three symmetrical bays. It has a plinth and stone steps leading up to a panelled door that has a three-pane overlight, set within a moulded wooden doorcase featuring a plain cornice and hood. To the right is a blocked segmental-arched cellar opening. The house has 16-pane sash windows in flush wooden architraves on either side, with stucco cambered arches and cills. There are two similar windows on the first floor and 12-pane sliding sashes with stucco cills and segmental brick arches on the second floor. The eaves cornice is stepped and cogged brick, and there are end stacks with upper sections that project slightly from the tumbled gables. The interior includes extensive stone-walled cellars, which were disused at the time of the survey.

The adjoining shop is two storeys tall and has two first floor windows. It features a plank door to the left, with a boarded 19th-century shop window beneath a projecting cornice or jetty that has a cogged brick band. To the right is a part-glazed and panelled former entrance beneath a projecting wooden cornice. The first floor has sliding sashes beneath wooden lintels. The shop has a brick-coped gable and an end stack to the left. The left return has a bricked-up opening and a rounded corner facing George Street. The interior includes a room to the right that contains the kitchen for No 29, while the remainder was not investigated and was disused at the time of the survey.
