Description
Three commercial buildings, refronted around 1790 and altered around 1995.
MATERIALS: the roof has a Welsh slate covering and the walls are constructed of brick.
PLAN: the buildings are rectangular on plan facing west to High Street, with long extensions to the rear (east).
Description: 37, 39 and 41 High Street are three-and-half storeys in height and six bays in width. The shared gambrel roof is slate-covered and features three dormers with late-C20 casements hidden behind a low parapet wall. Number 41 retains a red brick chimneystack on its north gable. The brick walls of the first and second floor, refronted around 1790, are laid in Flemish bond and painted. The six bays of windows are flat-arched, with a shallow-projecting keystone to their stone lintel, and with stone sills. The second floor has three-over-three timber sashes, and the first floor has six-over-six timber sashes, both with horns. The ground floor shopfronts were replaced around 1995.
