34, High Street

No. 34 High Street is a house that has been converted into a shop with living accommodation and is now a restaurant. It dates back to the 17th century and was altered in the early 19th century. The building is timber-framed and has a stucco exterior. It features a hipped roof covered with old tiles and includes a segmentally headed casement dormer above the parapet.

The structure has two storeys, a basement, and attics. A prominent feature is the two-storey canted bay window, with first-floor casement windows that replaced the original sashes in the 20th century. There is a moulded frame on the right side of the first floor for the trader's name, and a moulded band runs across the facade and around the windows. The ground floor showcases a 19th-century projecting canted bay window, which was once a shopfront, along with a modern cellar light below. The plate glass windows have moulded cills and mullions, with leaded lights above a moulded transom.

Panelled pilasters with recessed reeded bands flank the shop window, topped with a moulded timber cornice. The shop window is further adorned with long cut ogee-profiled 'blinkers' that were formerly used as blinds. To the right, there is a half-glazed two-panel door set in a reveal, featuring reeded quarter columns and a fanlight with radiating pointed-arched glazing bars.

Ornamental cast-iron railings from the early 19th century, decorated with a Greek key, repeated oval, and quatrefoil patterns, are located below a flat-roofed extension on the right. The first floor has a small gable with a slightly recessed sash window that includes glazing bars, exposed boxes, and architrave surrounds. The main gable, which is set back, has two storeys and attics.

In 1820, the building was owned by Abraham Hudson, a corn chandler, who likely made the Regency alterations. By the late 19th century, it was occupied by a tobacconist.
