Description
No. 4 High Street is a house that has been converted into a shop, dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of red brick with painted stone dressings and features a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with chamfered stone quoins and a moulded wooden eaves cornice that includes carved scrolled modillions. The right gable end is parapeted, with stone coping, shaped kneelers, and an integral brick end stack.
There are two large hipped dormers, each fitted with boxed glazing bar sash windows and a wooden eaves cornice with cyma recta moulding. The façade is divided into three bays, with first-floor glazing bar sashes that are partly obscured by a late 19th-century shop front below. This shop front features a pair of large plate-glass windows, a central 20th-century glazed door, a deep fascia, and flanking panelled pilasters that support scrolled brackets. A cast-iron street-name plate is attached to the left side of the building, indicating "High Street."
At the rear, there is an 18th-century wing that includes a plat band and a parapeted gable end with rounded sandstone coping and shaped kneelers, along with boxed glazing bar sashes.
