Description
No. 1 High Street is a cottage dating from around 1550, originally built for John Fuller. It was rebuilt around 1720 and later widened on the northwest side in the late 18th century to accommodate a staircase. The cottage features a timber frame that is plaster rendered and partially weather-boarded. It has a long straw thatch roof that is half hipped at the west end, with a diagonally set ridge stack made of red brick. The building has a three-bay, lobby entry plan and is one storey with an attic, which includes one dormer. There are three 18th-century wooden casement windows, each with three leaded lights, and the center light retains its original iron fastenings. The doorway leads to the lobby entry. Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace in the center bay and a smaller, later hearth in the parlour, which was widened when the staircase was added.
