14, High Street

This is a late 18th-century house, later used as a shop, that was remodelled internally around 1840. It is constructed of red brick with yellow/grey sandstone ashlar dressings, topped with a slate mansard roof. The building is three storeys high with an attic, and features a moulded stone cornice above the shop front, a moulded cornice with a blocking course, and parapeted gable ends with stone copings. Brick end stacks have moulded stone cornices. Dormers with 20th-century casements and segmental pediments are visible in the roof. The front has three bays with glazing bar sashes, stone cills, and moulded stone architraves. The first-floor sashes have a continuous cill and frieze, a setback between them, and a segmental pediment over the centre one. A late 20th-century plate-glass shop front now occupies the ground floor, and a recessed 6-panelled door is to the left. The interior was altered around 1840, and retains moulded plaster cornices. Original features include 4-panelled doors and windows with panelled shutters, all with moulded architraves and roundels in the corners. A rectangular-well staircase rises two floors, featuring winders, a closed string, circular stick balusters, a swept handrail that wreathes to the columnular foot newel, and three arches leading to the first-floor landing.
