Description
No. 50 and 51 High Street is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the mid-18th century, with some alterations made in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of painted brick, featuring stone and gauged brick dressings, and has a slate roof. It stands three storeys high and has five windows on the second floor.
The ground floor showcases a well-preserved early 19th-century shop front that spans most of the width of the building. This front includes wide, small-paned bow windows on rendered plinths, which flank a central entrance. The entrance features a 20th-century double-leaf panelled door beneath a traceried overlight, set within a doorcase that has a moulded hood supported by fluted consoles with guttae. Similar consoles are found supporting dosserets to the pilasters on either side of the bow windows. The bow windows are topped with moulded cornices and reeded friezes.
To the left of the shop front is a narrow 10-pane window that has been inserted into the space, and further left is a raised and fielded 6-panel door with a large overlight featuring oval tracery and a plain floating entablature, providing separate access to the upper floors. Above the shop front, there is a wide ashlar band, which has been interrupted by later openings.
Above the bow windows, there are two shallower full-height bows, each with a central mullion and a pair of curved 15-pane sash windows, which are below a reed frieze, moulded cornice, and leaded roof. To the left, there is a full-height 15-pane sash window set within a timber architrave, beneath a flat gauged brick arch, and it features an ironwork balcony at the front. Above this, there are five 20th-century windows with nine panes each, located in their original openings, with flat gauged brick arches and projecting stone sills. The building is topped with a substantial moulded stone cornice, which has a later gutter added, and it has brick end stacks.
Inside, there is an original column on the vase baluster staircase, which has a ramped handrail above the first half landing.
