Description
60 High Street and 2 Rose Lane is a house with two main building periods, constructed in the 18th century and extended by one bay later in the 18th century. The house is timber framed, with plaster rendering on the plinth and cement rendering elsewhere. It has a half-hipped tiled roof with a red brick stack positioned at right angles to the ridge and a later end stack. The original three-bay plan has been extended by one bay to the left.
The house has two storeys, featuring four early 19th-century casement windows with arched top panes on the first floor. The ground floor has three similar windows and one mid-20th-century window. There is an early 19th-century moulded doorcase surrounding the lobby entry doorway, which is now partly obscured by a 20th-century gabled porch. The left bay stands on a higher plinth, and the ridge of the roof is also higher. To the right, there is an extension that is framed, rendered, and tiled, consisting of a single cell and one storey.
Inside, the floor framing consists of unchamfered parallel main beams, while the wall framing is not visible. There is a red brick inglenook hearth and a staircase located off the centre room. This listing includes No. 2 Rose Lane.
