Description
No. 18 High Street is a house that has been converted into a ground floor shop with offices above. It dates from the 18th century, with a 19th-century front, and was reconstructed internally in 1972. The building features a red brick front with yellow brick quoins and a moulded red brick dentil cornice. It has a Welsh slated roof with red ridge tiles behind a parapet.
On the first floor, there are four plain glazed sash windows set in reveals under red rubbed arches, while the second floor has four sash windows with glazing bars. The ground floor shopfront is framed by brick pilasters on either side, topped with coarsely detailed Tuscan capitals and bold overhanging paired consoles, along with a frieze and pediments. The 19th-century shopfront includes a stucco stallriser, plate glass windows in moulded timber frames, and twin cast-iron columns with simplified Corinthian capitals flanking a canted recessed entrance that has a glazed door. Above the entrance, there is a fascia with modern timber boarding and a recessed void for a former blind box. At the rear, there is a modern single-storey extension with a pantiled roof.
