Description
No. 3 High Street is a house and former stables, now used as offices. It dates from the 16th century and was altered in the 18th century. The building features a timber frame with roughcast, a stucco plinth, and a low stucco parapet with a moulded wooden cornice. The rear wing is weatherboarded and located at the southeast. The roofs are steeply pitched and covered with old red tiles.
This U-shaped building has two stories and an attic, facing the street to the west, with two rear wings and a stable block extending to the north along the street. At the north end of the street range, there is a large external gable chimney with grouped shafts, which are now enclosed by the stables. Inside, there is a large internal gable stack with an axial base and two diagonally set shafts that have been rebuilt, located at the east end of the northeast wing.
The tall southeast rear wing, built in the early 19th century, has a cusped bargeboard and a two-story canted bay window overlooking the garden. The irregular west front has six windows on each floor and is divided into three unequal sections. On the left, there are four flush box sash windows with 6/6 panes. The short middle section projects slightly and features a similar sash window and the entrance door. The door is a four-panel half-glazed flush-beaded design, set in a reeded surround with corner blocks, ring paterae, and an entablature with a plain frieze and moulded flat hood. The short right-hand bay lacks an eaves parapet and has a flush box sash window with 8/8 panes above a large leaded casement window.
The stables to the north have two roof heights, a gabled dormer, and a three-light transomed window below. The higher northern part features an external gable chimney and a high rectangular window with an arched frame.
