Description
Numbers 20 and 22 High Street, which houses the Spilsby Chinese Restaurant, and Number 1 Market Place, home to Normic Newsagents, consist of three shops and a house. The building likely dates back to the late medieval period, with extensions and alterations made in the early 18th century, and further changes in the early 19th and 20th centuries. It features colourwashed brick and lined stucco, topped with a plain machine tiled hipped roof and two large brick stacks.
The two-storey, five-bay front facing High Street is made of colourwashed brick and includes a first-floor band. At the center, there is a canted glazing bar sash window flanked by two six-panelled doors, each with traceried overlights, set in painted ashlar pilastered surrounds with narrow hoods. To the left, there are a pair of glazing bar sashes beneath a single flush lintel, while to the right, a 19th-century shop window is framed by narrow pilasters, a fascia, and a cornice. The first floor has four glazing bar sashes.
The Market Place front is finished in lined stucco, featuring a single pilaster and a rendered band. To the left, there is a 19th-century shop front with panelled pilasters, a stall riser, and a fascia with a cornice. To the right, there is a semi-circular headed window and a 20th-century shop front. The first floor has four glazing bar sashes, arranged somewhat irregularly. The three bays on the right are part of the earlier house. Inside, there is a chamfered beam with a simple stop on the first floor, which may date back to the late medieval period. The interior also features 18th-century panelled reveals at the windows, 18th-century moulding on the beam, and an early 18th-century fireplace with a bolection moulded panel above. The description includes Number 1 Market Street (Normic Newsagents).
