59 And 61, High Street

Nos 59 and 61 form a pair of attached cottages, dating to approximately the late 17th century, with alterations and extensions made around the early 19th century. The cottages are constructed of Flemish bond gault brick, with a steeply pitched asbestos tile roof at the front that has gabled ends, and a lower-pitched slate roof at the rear. A brick axial stack is present. The original plan consisted of a pair of single-room cottages around a central axial stack. Rear rooms were added around the early 19th century.

The cottages are one storey and attic, with a symmetrical two-window south front. Large 16-pane sash windows are set within cambered brick arch openings. Arched doorways, both with 20th-century doors, are situated to the left and right; the door to No 59 (right) is panelled, while that of No 61 (left) is glazed. Two large 20th-century flat-roofed dormers are visible. The rear (north) elevation of No 59 features a stretcher bond gault brick wall with a small horizontally sliding sash window on the first floor. The rear wall of No 61 is stuccoed and incorporates 20th-century windows and a door.

Inside No 61, there is a chamfered axial beam without stops, unchamfered joists, and a large brick fireplace with a chamfered timber lintel without stops. The first floor of the rear wall reveals exposed timber studding, and the roof structure has been largely rebuilt. The interior of No 59 has not been inspected.
