109, High Street

No. 109 High Street is a cottage dating from the 15th century, with alterations made in the mid-16th century. It was converted into two cottages in the 19th century, and a rear wing was added in 1985. The building features a timber frame that is plastered and exposed on the street side, topped with a thatched roof. A red brick ridge stack is present, along with exposed side walls of the chimney, which include reused late 14th-century clunch stone that is carved with the mollets of the De Vere family and a frieze with cusped tracery.

The cottage is one storey with an attic, featuring four ground floor casement windows and one plain tiled dormer window. Two original windows and a doorway have been sealed, with the main entrance located in the rear wing. Inside, the layout consists of three units, with a substantial timber frame that includes an interrupted tie beam at the north gable and a cross passage behind the 16th-century stack, which has been infilled by an 18th or 19th-century hearth. The original street entrance has been sealed.

There are two original floored bays at either end, with square-sectioned joists laid axially, sealed ground floor windows, and evidence of gable windows at the first floor. The two-bay open hall has had its display truss removed for the installation of 16th-century roll-moulded ceiling beams. The hearth features an inglenook that has been partly relined, with reused late 14th-century clunch jambs that were originally part of an archway with two chamfered orders. The roof is smoke blackened and consists of collar rafters with windbraces from the principal rafters.
