Description

49 High Street is a house dating from the early 17th century or earlier, with a front made of 18th-century brick and a 20th-century south gable added where a new road was cut through. The heavy timber frame is exposed in the carriageway at the northern end, while an extension is covered in stuccoed brickwork. The house features steep old red tile roofs and is two stories tall, with three windows on the west-facing front. It has twin two-story hipped rear wings and a southeast rear outshut with a hipped dormer on the roof. There is an internal south gable chimney and a large chimney that backs onto the carriageway at the northern end of the building.

The west front has three upper windows, with a door located beneath the central window and a lower window on each side. The windows are flush-box sash with six-over-six panes, and there is a triple-sash window to the right of the door. The carriageway features large boarded double doors and a six-panel door, where the bottom two panels are flush-beaded and the others are raised and fielded. The exposed framing in the carriageway includes a chamfered axial beam with a hollow stop, the main framing of the northern gable end, and a cross-frame to the south of the chimney with large panels, along with the framing of the underbuilt front-wall jetty.
