14 And 16, High Street

14 and 16 High Street are a pair of attached cottages dating from the late 18th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. They are timber-framed, plastered, and weatherboarded, topped with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The main range faces southeast and features an external stack at each end, along with a common rear wing. The cottages are single-storey and each has two 20th-century sash windows with six over six lights and a flush six-panel door, where the top two panels are glazed. They are elevated above street level on a battered plinth made of red brick in Flemish bond, approximately one metre high at the front. Each cottage has brick steps leading to the door, with simple wrought-iron handrails supported by two stanchions. Wrought-iron brackets support the gutters. The right elevation of No. 14 is weatherboarded on the gable end and plastered on the rear wing, while the left elevation of No. 16 is entirely plastered. The rear wing is covered with red clay pantiles. These cottages are depicted on an estate map from around 1770 at Wadham College, Oxford.
