58 And 60, High Street

A pair of houses, now shops, dating to the early 19th century, with a likely 17th-century core. The construction is primarily red brick, with timber framing visible to the sides and painted brick infill. It has a slate roof, three storeys, and a wooden fascia board. A brick end stack is located on the right. The building has a 1:3 bay arrangement; the windows are glazing bar sashes, with a 1-6-pane pattern on the first floor and a 12-pane pattern on the second floor, all with painted stone cills and lintels. The second bay from the right is blind. A shop front from around 1930 is on the right, featuring a pair of plate-glass windows flanking a recessed glazed door. A shop front dating to approximately 1900 is on the left, with a pair of plate-glass windows flanking a pair of half-glazed doors with an over-light, and a pilastered surround with a fascia and cornice. A carriageway is situated to the left. The early 19th-century side door, accessed from the carriageway, has four flush panels and a plain surround with a cornice. Early 19th-century timber framing is present at the rear of the building, above the carriageway. A short, gabled rear wing features an exposed tie-beam truss with two collars and queen struts. The interior has not been inspected, but some internal timber framing has been noted. The building is included on the list for its group value.
