14 And 16, High Street

14 and 16 High Street is a building located in Newcastle under Lyme that dates back to the early 17th century, with modifications made in the early 19th century.

The building is two stories high with an attic and consists of two bays. The ground floor has an inserted shop front, while the upper storey jetties out and includes two oriel windows with mullions. The attic dormers have long mullioned lights. The building is also decorated with ornately carved barge boards that have finials, and it features gable stacks.
