122 AND 124, HIGH STREET

A house, likely dating from the 17th century with alterations and an addition in the early 19th century, now divided into two separate dwellings. The building is constructed of brick laid in an English garden wall bond, with a pyramidal roof covered in old tiles and brick stacks at the apex and to the rear. It has a double-depth plan, incorporating a square section with a gabled wing added to the right.

The exterior presents two storeys and a three-window front. A high brick plinth sits on stone footings, with a moulded brick string course and a tile offset above the ground floor; exposed rafter ends are also visible. The entrance on the right-hand end has a moulded frame and a bracketed canopy above a six-panel door, with two glazed panels. A segmental-headed window has been inserted on the left end of the ground floor, including a sill and sash window (other ground-floor windows were boarded at the time of review). A smaller window to the right has two small-paned lights.

The addition to the right features a shop front with fluted pilasters and an entablature over an entrance, with a six-flush-panel door to the right of a small-paned bow window. The first floor of the addition has two windows with three small-paned casements, and a smaller two-light casement window.

The left return shows a continued string course and a central entrance with a 19th-century open timber gabled porch with lattice sides leading to a six-panel door. A blocked opening is located to the right, along with a window with a timber lintel. The first floor has an eight-pane sash window above the entrance, and a blocked window at the right end. A 20th-century porch extends from the rear angle of the building.

The interior was not inspected. Historical information is documented in the Victoria County History.
