44, High Street

No. 44 High Street is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from coursed dressed and squared stone of fine quality, featuring a raised string at the ground floor ceiling level. The entrance elevation, which may have been partially rebuilt, is in brickwork, and the house has a tiled roof with verge parapets on corbelled kneelers. There is a brick ridge stack at the center and an end stack to the right.

The building is two stories with an attic, built on a slope, and has a full-height cellar opening at street level to the south. The entrance front has three windows and includes three-light chamfered mullions, although the ground floor right window has been replaced by a 20th-century casement. There are entrances at both ends of the house; the right end features a heavy lintel with a label, while the left-hand entrance is an insertion, and both doors are boarded.

The gable facing the street has a tier of three-light mullioned windows, with a label on the first floor (which is the second floor to the street), and a casement has been inserted in the chamfered reveal at ground level. Below the windows, there is a double cellar door with an arched concrete lintel. This house is extremely prominent in the village center.
