Description
This is a house located at 68 High Street, built around 1800. It features a red brick exterior and a Welsh slate roof, with partly rendered brick end stacks. The house has two and a half storeys and is adorned with three 2 over 2 sash windows, along with two 8 over 8 sash windows on the ground floor. The windows have cambered lintels. Access is via two stone steps leading to a central wooden doorcase topped with a flat bracketed hood, which frames a six-panelled door and an overlight. To the left, there is a 20th-century garage extension and two 9-pane attic windows, while the right end has one 9-pane attic window. At the rear, there is a one and a half storey extension. This house and the adjacent No. 66 were likely built at the same time as a pair of nearly identical detached houses.
