Description
66 High Street is a house that later became a public house and is now used as commercial premises. The building was originally constructed in the 17th century and was refronted in the 18th century. It features a timber-framed structure with a jettied first floor, which is covered in colourwashed pebbledash and plaster. The roof is gambrel-shaped and covered with old tiles, and it has two casement box dormers. The building has two storeys and attics.
On the first floor, there are two sash windows with glazing bars that are flush set and have architrave surrounds, along with one central mid-20th century sash window with glazing bars. The ground floor has mid-20th century timber-framed shopfronts with plate glass windows, which are situated below a coved plaster cornice that is now concealed by a deep modern boxed aluminium fascia. The building has been used as motor showrooms since the early 20th century. The workshops at the rear of the property are not considered to be of special interest.
