112, High Street

No. 112 High Street is a house that has been converted into an office. It dates from the early 16th century and features a timber-framed and plastered structure with a peg-tiled roof. The building has a rectangular plan with a gable facing the street and stands two stories tall.

On the north front elevation, the ground floor has a 19th-century shop front that includes a canted window with glazing bars arranged in a pattern of 1x4, 5x4, 1x4 panes, along with a shop door. The upper glazing consists of glazing bars with 2x4 panes and a single lower panel. The first floor has a 20th-century two-light casement window that opens from the top. The 19th-century plaster rendering on the front is lined out to resemble ashlar work. A stack emerges from the roof pitch on the east side, which is visible behind the facade. The rear south elevation is mostly obscured, except for the weatherboarded gable end, while the east and west sides are also obscured.

Inside, much of the construction is covered, but the outer framing is exposed on the first floor, revealing a central tie-beam that shows a two-bay system. An arched brace from the storey post is visible, and the tie-beam features a step stopped chamfer. Above, the crown post roof has a central two-way braced post, with one brace remaining while the other was removed to accommodate an 18th or 19th-century stack. There is no decoration, but the construction is robust, and the braces of the central and gable crown post elegantly sweep to the collar purlin. The brace on the south gable is missing, leaving only the mortice. This cross-wing roof is similar to that of No. 110, and together they form the original end units of an H-plan hall house. The refined design of the roof timbers and the internal ground floor layout of No. 110 suggest that No. 112 was the 'high' end, with the roof visible over the principal chamber of the early 16th-century house. Nos. 108-114 and No. 120 form a group with this building.
