25, High Street

This is an early 18th-century house, later extended in the 19th and 20th centuries, now used as shops and a flat. The construction is primarily red and blue bricks in a Flemish bond, with a concrete tile roof. The building faces northwest and features an internal stack on the left side, with a former external stack at the rear middle.

The main building is two storeys high with attics, and is accompanied by two 2-storey wings at the rear left, and a lean-to conservatory beyond the right wing. A 2-storey extension to the rear right forms a catslide roofline, with a 20th-century single-storey extension with a flat roof added beyond.

The ground floor features a 20th-century bow window of 20 lights on the left, designed to resemble an early 19th-century style. To the right, an earlier 19th-century double bow shopfront has been replaced with a 20th-century shopfront, retaining the original moulded fascia and mutuled cornice. A recessed doorway to the left of centre has a semicircular arch of gauged red brick and a 20th-century half-glazed door, with two stone steps leading up to it. The first floor has four 19th-century sash windows of 4 lights, set within original openings and featuring flat arches of gauged red brick. A 20th-century dormer window sits in the roof to the right of centre, with 32-pane casements and a flat roof. Blue brick headers are arranged in a regular pattern. A raised band of red brick runs below the first-floor window sills. A moulded wooden eaves cornice is present. The roof is hipped at the left end.

On the left return, a double casement window at half-floor level remains, the frame originally of jointed and rebated hardwood, with the right half blocked and the left casement renewed, beneath a segmental brick arch. A brick inscribed ‘I. F. 1720’ is visible, likely indicating the building's construction date. The blue brick headers create a regular pattern here too. The left wall of the left rear wing has brickwork on the ground floor, with cement render above. A brick inscribed 'I. N 1737' is situated near the rear corner, along with later graffiti. Shaped sprockets sit below the eaves. The rear elevation has roughcast rendered walls. A gabled dormer with a 20th-century casement window is located in the main roof. A wide picture window is on the first floor at the rear right, alongside a smaller window in the right return, and a 20th-century half-glazed door. Other rear windows are 20th-century casements.
