Description
39 High Street is a house that now serves as both a residence and a shop. It dates from around 1600 and has been partially underbuilt, refaced, and had its eaves raised in the early to mid 19th century. The building features a roughcast timber frame with a slate roof and is likely composed of three framed bays. It stands three storeys tall, with a jettied first floor on the right supported by shaped brackets. The eaves are also bracketed, and there is an integral brick end stack on the left and a brick ridge stack on the right.
The front of the building has three windows. The mid to late 19th-century four-pane sashes have moulded surrounds, while the second floor has a glazing bar sash, and the ground floor features a sixteen-pane glazing bar sash on the right. There is a small mid-19th-century sash window between the first and second windows from the right. The ground floor also includes a delicate late 19th-century cast iron shop front on the left, which has two large plate glass windows flanking a central recessed half-glazed door. To the right, there is an off-centre half-glazed panelled door. It is likely that the jetty originally extended continuously across the facade before later rebuildings.
