10 And 12, High Street

Nos 10 and 12 on High Street is a house that has been converted into a shop, office, and storage space. It is dated 1637 and features a later 17th-century rear centre wing and an 18th-century rear right wing. The building was altered to serve as cottages in the mid-19th century. The exterior is made of thinly coursed rubble with a rendered front and coursed squared stone with quoins on the 18th-century wing. The roofs are made of stone slate, although part of it has collapsed.

The structure has a three-cell linear plan with a lobby entry to the centre cell, a rear outshut to the left cell (which has collapsed), and a kitchen wing at the back of the centre cell (also partially collapsed). The 18th-century wing is located at the rear and runs parallel to the right cell. The building is two storeys high. The original quoined doorway is located to the left of the centre cell and features a moulded surround and a Tudor-arched lintel that bears the date, although it is now illegible. Other openings, including five first-floor windows, are later additions and not of special interest. The gable copings are present, and there is a truncated, rendered stack between the first and second bays, along with a later brick stack to the right.

At the rear, the 18th-century wing has a three-light flat-faced mullion window, with a single window featuring a stone surround above it. The centre wing, which is partially collapsed, has quoins on the left side only, while the right side has been rebuilt. There is a single-storey monopitch addition to the left return, above which is a window with a timber lintel.

Inside, the left cell features two stop-chamfered beams on stone corbels. There is a stone stair against the rear wall and two boxed-in spine beams in the centre cell. The wallplate at the rear of the centre cell has mortices for aisle-ties, likely for an outshut that predated the later 17th-century rear wing. The rear wing includes a central stop-chamfered spine beam and a queen-strut roof truss with a diagonally-set ridge. The 18th-century wing has a deep skirting and a dado rail on the first floor, along with fielded-panel window shutters, a fireplace with an eared architrave, and a double cupboard with H-hinges.
