Description
No. 36 High Street is a 17th-century house that now features a shop on the ground floor. The building is timber-framed with a stucco exterior and has an old tiled roof with a gable facing the street. It stands three storeys tall and has one flush-set sash window with divided glazing on the first and second floors. The ground floor showcases a 19th-century shop window, which includes a stucco stallriser and timber-framed, mullioned plate glass display windows. An ornate stucco console with a foliated design is located on the right side, along with a fascia that has a moulded blind box cover above, likely beneath an earlier jettied front. The left corner of the shopfront returns to the main frontage, creating a side window and a narrow gap that indicates a setback construction of the shopfront, suggesting encroachment on a former twitchell or alley. The north elevation, which faces East Street, is also stuccoed and features a small modern entrance door on the ground floor, as well as a small modern casement window in the attic gable.
