Description
59 High Street is a house dating from around 1600, with a bay added or rebuilt in the 19th century. It features a timber frame, plaster render, and a thatched roof. The house has two ridge stacks, both of which were inserted in the 19th century, and the original ridge stack has been removed, although the inglenook remains. Two bays from the original 1600 structure survive, and the house is two storeys high. There are two small modern casement windows on both the first and ground floors, and the doorway is now within a modern porch.
Inside, there is a sealed inglenook hearth made of clunch, and this bay was originally open to the roof. A floor was inserted between the 17th and 18th centuries, with joists laid on edge that are lighter than those in the bay to the west. An original closed partition wall separates the two original bays and extends through to the first floor and ridge. The west gable end wall features an original six-light window with hollow and roll moulded mullions at ground floor, and at first floor, there are jowled heads to the posts and cranked bracing. Additionally, there is a fragment of wall painting in the front wall of the original structure, which is now concealed.
