20, High Street

This building comprises a group of former houses, constructed in 1687, the early 18th century, and the mid-18th century, with a porch added in 1916 by Bateman. The structure is divided into three principal sections.

The house on the left is constructed of limestone ashlar with a stone slate roof. It is a two-storey building with an attic, featuring a bay to each side of a one-bay, two-storey porch with a hipped roof, added in 1916. The facade has a storey band and rebated and chamfered cross windows. There are two hipped attic dormers. A moulded doorway features a segmental head and cornice. The gables are coped with chimneys.

To the right is a second former house, also of limestone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof. It is two storeys high with an attic and three bays, with a storey band. The windows are two-light with an outer rebate and flat-faced mullions with an edge roll moulding. Three attic dormers are present. The central doorway, now glazed, has a round head with a fanlight above a transom linking impost blocks, and a central mullion rising to meet a keystone. Gables are coped with chimneys, and the right-hand stack projects with offsets.

Set back to the right is a gabled wing of squared limestone with a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high with an attic and one bay, featuring rebated and chamfered mullioned windows with hoods. These are four-light on the first floor, three on the upper floor, and two to the attic. A stone inscribed "1687" sits below the coped gable. The east-facing return wall has a 20th-century bowed window on the left and a timber-framed gabled wing on the right, jettied over a stone ground floor wall. The timber framing is close-studded, with curved tension braces, a tie-beam and collar, and originates from a 15th-century timber-framed house in Worcester, re-erected in this location in the early 20th century.

At the rear, the left-hand (west) former house has rebated and chamfered mullioned windows with hoods. Rear ranges, dating to the 18th century, incorporate a former barn from the early 18th century, with three bays, exhibiting box framing with brick infill panels.

Interior features include an exposed plain spine beam and common joists, a stone inglenook with bressummer, and a reconstructed early 18th-century staircase with closed string and turned balusters. One first-floor room has a chamfered fireplace with a canted head.
