34, 36 AND 38, HIGH STREET

34, 36, and 38 High Street are three small houses built in a continuous block, dating from the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. They feature a timber frame and a peg-tiled roof, with chimney stacks located at the rear of the roof apex. The buildings are two stories high with attics.

The south elevation has a ground floor that is weatherboarded and a first floor that is plastered, with remnants of ashlar lining. There are three windows and three similar four-panel doors, each with adjacent two-light casement windows that have glazing bars, arranged in a 2x3 pane configuration. The first floor has three two-light casements with central horizontal glazing bars. There are two dormer windows on Nos 34 and 36, both peg-tiled with two-light casements; at No. 36, one casement features small leaded panes while the other has two horizontal glazing bars. No. 34 has both casements with a single horizontal glazing bar. The upper half of the first floor plastering has been redone along the range.

The north elevation features a continuous back addition with a 'catslide' roof from the apex. A gable projects through the roof in line with a heavy stack towards the eastern end, suggesting a 17th-century origin for the stack, which is accompanied by a contemporary rear stair tower. There is a heavy stack at the western end with a slender stack positioned between the larger ones. The out-shut wall is pebbledash rendered and includes three 20th-century light casement windows along with a contemporary back door that has glazing in a 2x3 pane arrangement. The eastern end is not visible. The western elevation is weatherboarded and features a two-light casement window on the first floor and another in the attic gable.

Inside, some 17th-century framing is evident in each bay, and the roof has side purlins throughout. A later stair at the rear gable position behind the major stack indicates that the building was originally a 17th-century three-bayed lobby entrance house. A 19th-century alteration added a rear lean-to and divided the structure into three separate houses, each with its own additional chimney stacks at the rear.
