10-16, HIGH STREET

This is a timber-framed house, now divided into two dwellings, originally comprising a range of four. The core of the building dates to the 17th century, with subsequent alterations and additions in the later 17th century and late 19th century. The external appearance is of plastered timber framing with painted and rendered brick, and it has plain tile roofs. A rebuilt ridge stack and a side stack with three diagonal shafts of gault brick are located to the left of the crosswing. There is an end stack to the right-hand gable. The house is two storeys high, with a further two storeys and attic space in the crosswing. A plaque bearing the initials "EAP 1845" is above the two boarded doors of the porch at number 14. A late 19th-century wing extends to the east of the main range and incorporates a boarded door at number 10. The main range has four ground-floor windows, alongside two horizontal sliding sash windows, two casement dormer windows and one attic window. The right-hand wing features two transomed casement windows, while the crosswing gable has two casement windows with dripmoulds. Inside, the main range retains carved 17th-century consoles supporting a chamfered spine beam with run-out stops.
