25, High Street

A house, now a shop and store, dating to the 16th or 17th century, with significant rebuilding and a new facade in the late 18th or early 19th century, and 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with some surviving timber-framing. It has a Welsh slate roof with a deep rendered eaves cornice and a brick end-stack on the left side.

The front of the building is three stories high with a cellar. It has a two-window arrangement; the first floor features horned 6/6 sash windows with painted channelled voussoirs and keystones. Smaller, unhorned 3/6 sash windows are above, all with similar decorative features. Sill bands are present. The ground floor on the left contains a shopfront with a plate-glazed bay window, a 20th-century glazed door, and a deep enriched cornice obscured by a 20th-century fascia and blind. A carriage entrance is to the right. The building has a rendered plinth, with a cellar grille below the window. Light-scantling square-panel timber-framing is visible in the side-passage wall. The rear includes a painted brick wing, also partly timber-framed.

The interior, which was not inspected, is noted to contain square-panel timber-framing and a fireplace with a bracketed hood. The front elevation matches that of numbers 21 and 23 on High Street. The side-passage wall marks the line of the former parish boundary and the beginning of the former leather quarter.
