Description

37A and 37B High Street is a pair of shops with offices, dating from the early 19th century. The building is constructed of painted brick and features a Welsh slate roof with an off-centre stack and a plain parapet.

The exterior consists of three storeys and a three-window range. On the second floor, there is a string band above a recessed sash window that has a central vertical glazing bar, flanked by a central blind recess. The first floor mirrors this with a similar central blind recess and includes two canted oriels that have lead flat roofs, moulded cornices, and sash windows with central vertical glazing bars.

The ground floor features two stuccoed contemporary shop fronts beneath an architrave with a delicately moulded cornice, although this is now obscured by 19th-century blind boxes. There are nine thin panelled pilasters with consoles that frame two square shop windows, two shop doors, and a central double door with raised-and-fielded panels and a rectangular fanlight. The shop windows have elliptical-arched heads with fan detail on the spandrels, and a projecting diamond motif is centered over each shop front.

Inside, the first-floor oriels are equipped with internal folding shutters on their reveals.
