Description

82 High Street is a commercial building with an 18th-century front. The roof is covered with plain tiles, and the brick walls are painted.

The building is rectangular in shape and extends west from High Street. It stands two-and-a-half storeys tall, facing east towards the street. The pitched roof features a plain tile covering, a red brick chimneystack on the south gable end, and a box dormer in the attic with casement windows. The first floor has painted brick walls and two margined sash windows with plain lintels. The ground floor shopfront was replaced around 2014.
