12 High Street, and attached milestone

12 High Street is a house that has been converted into a shop, dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of red brick, with painted red and grey sandstone ashlar and some plaster details, topped with a plain tile roof. The building is positioned at right angles to the road, featuring a gable facing the front. It has two storeys and an attic above a basement.

The exterior includes a chamfered stone plinth, which is higher on the northeast side and has chamfered rustication. There is a stone plat band on the northeast side and a brick one on the southwest side, along with chamfered quoins and parapeted gable ends that have shaped kneelers and stone copings. The roof has two brick ridge stacks and an integral brick end stack at the rear. The front has two bays with first-floor glazing bar sash windows and a single central attic sash, all featuring painted stone cills and lintels. The shop front, added in the late 20th century, has a pair of plate glass windows on either side of a central recessed glazed door.

On the left-hand return front, there are two additional bays with glazing bar sashes, also having painted stone cills and lintels. There are three blind or blocked basement openings covered with 20th-century cement rendering, with the outer pair having segmental heads. Adjacent to the right is a late 18th or early 19th-century chamfered stone milestone, which was illegible at the time of the survey in June 1986.

The right-hand return front has two projecting bays with glazing bar sashes. It features a central four-panelled door with a late 19th-century lean-to porch. There are also two gabled dormers with two-light wooden casements, latticed lights in the gables, and decorative barge boards.

The interior was not inspected, but a pair of cast-iron columns were noted in the shop.
