Description
No. 111 High Street is a house that likely dates from the early 17th century or possibly earlier. It features a roughcast timber frame with a ground floor that is underbuilt in painted brick. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has a gabled east end and a hipped west end, with a brick lateral stack located on the north side. The house has a two-room plan, where the larger room on the east is heated by the lateral stack, while the smaller west room is unheated and has a doorway at the west end.
The house is two storeys tall. The west end has a two-light casement window on each floor; the first-floor window has a frame from around the 18th century, while the ground-floor window is from the 20th century. There is a doorway on the right side with a plank door. The east gable end features a 20th-century two-light casement on the first floor and one casement on the south side on the ground floor to the right.
Inside, the small unheated west room has a roughly chamfered axial beam and a later partition that creates a porch and lavatory. The larger east room contains a chamfered axial beam with cyma stops at one end, a blocked fireplace with a timber lintel, and winder stairs in the corner. The two chamfers are ceiled, but the roof timbers and wall framing are exposed. A central truss in the partition has curved braces connecting to the tie-beam, queen-posts, and collar with clasped purlins, along with curved wind braces, jowled posts, and tension braces. The small west chamber also features curved braces to the collar. The doors throughout are made of planks.
