Description
62A and 62B High Street is a house that has been converted into a shop and building society. It dates from the late 18th century and has undergone later additions and alterations, including a shop front added around the 1980s. The building is constructed of reddish-orange brick in Flemish bond, featuring stone sills and copings, and has a plain tile roof with brick end stacks that have oversailing courses and pots.
The structure is four storeys high and has three first-floor windows. The first and second floors contain 6/6 sash windows, while the third floor features 3/3 sash windows, all set in plain reveals with sills and flat arches made of gauged brick. The ground floor has an entrance located off-centre to the left, which consists of a four-panel door with an overlight in panelled reveals and a renewed surround, along with a glazed shop window to the left. The rest of the shop facade includes a multi-pane canted bay situated between paired pilasters.
The interior has not been inspected. Nos. 62 to 65 High Street form a group of late 18th-century properties, with No. 62A (currently the Nationwide Building Society) functioning as one commercial unit alongside No. 61.
