Description

No. 108 High Street is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the 17th century but was altered and given a new front in the early 19th century. The front is made of red brick, while the rear is stucco, and it has old tiled roofs above a moulded cornice and a parapet with stone coping.

On the first floor, there are three sash windows with glazing bars set in reveals under flat arches. The ground floor features a modified 19th-century shopfront with timber-framed display windows, a modern entrance, and a modern boxed out fascia above. The ground floor on the north side faces West Street and has plaster over timber-framing. This side is two storeys high with twin gables that have old tiled roofs facing the street and a 19th-century brick chimneystack on the right. The first floor has nearly flush sash windows with glazing bars and exposed boxes, one for each gable. The jettied first floor is underbuilt in yellow brick. The ground floor includes a modern small-paned display window on the left and a recessed 20th-century boarded door beneath the right-hand gable.
