42, High Street

No. 42 High Street is a house that has been converted into offices. It dates from the early 19th century and has undergone some later alterations. The building is finished in stucco with stone dressings and features a slate roof. It has four bays and three storeys, with a passage through the building on the left side of the ground floor. The ground floor has a 20th-century shop front that spans the full width, featuring plate glass windows set between banded rusticated ashlar, topped with a dentilled cornice. Above this, there are four 12-pane sash windows in moulded architraves, each with plain friezes and moulded pediments, which are late 19th-century additions. The top floor also has four similar sash windows in moulded architraves. All windows have projecting sills, and those on the top floor are linked by narrow paired bands. The building has a wooden eaves board and brick end stacks located partway down the front pitch of the roof.
