77, High Street

No 77 High Street is a house dating from the 16th century or early 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in the late 18th century or early 19th century. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with red brick gable ends. It features a steep pitched roof currently covered in bitumen felt and battens, along with a red tiled timber oriel on the west end and three slate-roofed gabled dormers. The house is two storeys high with attics and is located beside the road at the bridge approach. Originally, it had a two-room plan with a central chimney and a lobby entrance, with an entrance added to the northwest bay during the 18th or early 19th century when the house was heightened and given its current appearance.

The front of the house has three plastered windows, with two-light, V-headed flush casements on the upper floor. On the ground floor, there is a rectangular, flat-topped four-light bay window on the left, and to its right, a wide window with a 20th-century metal casement. The upper roofslope features three small gabled dormers with cusped bargeboards and large pendants. There is an off-centre small metal window on the west side, with a two-light wooden oriel above it. Additionally, there is a small window in the gable with a segmental arch, also with a cusped bargeboard and pendant.

Inside, there are two brackets projecting from the east side of the chimney, and different floor levels on the first floor suggest that the eastern part of the house was likely built open to the roof with a wooden chimney, while the western bay, now the centre, is two storeys high with a chamber above a parlour or service room. The staircase was probably located in the southwest corner. A brick chimney may have been inserted in the 18th or 19th century, and the chimney has been removed above the roof.
