11, High Street

11 High Street is a building that dates from the 17th century and includes a 16th-century rear wing. It has been remodeled in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The structure features brick, render, and timber framing. The front range is three stories tall, with a late 18th or early 19th-century brick façade laid in Flemish bond, and a 20th-century shop front with a covered passageway to the left. The late 19th-century windows are one-over-one vertical sliding sash types in unaltered openings, with stone lintels and segmented brick skewback arches. The late 19th-century rebuilt parapet has stone copings. The roof is hipped at the front and gabled at the rear, covered with red plain tiles from the 17th and 18th centuries. There is a late 19th-century stack on the left side and a rebuilt ridge stack at the rear. The rear wing has rendered elevations and a gable roof from the 17th or 18th century, with overhanging eaves and a truncated 19th-century stack at the rear. The rear elevation features 19th and 20th-century windows in altered openings.

Inside the front range, there are 17th and 18th-century chamfered bridging beams, wall plates, wall posts, and some visible wall framing and tie beams. The layout includes a principal room on the first floor, two rooms on the second, a rear staircase, and a shop at ground level, which was refitted in the 20th century. Much of the timber framing is obscured by 20th-century décor. The 16th-century rear wing has a jowled post and part of the right-hand wall frame visible on the second floor, along with a rear left wall post and some tie beams, as well as first-floor bridging beams.

Overall, 11 High Street is a notable example of an urban building that has evolved over time while maintaining its historic function as a shop on the ground floor with living accommodation above. Its 17th-century plan remains intact, and despite the lack of historic fixtures or fittings inside, the timber framing is mostly preserved, giving it sufficient architectural and historic interest to warrant listing.
