62 And 64, High Street

62 and 64 High Street is a former coaching inn that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates from the late 17th century and was refronted and reroofed around 1820. The building is constructed of red brick with a slate roof, and it features a timber-framed rear wing that is weatherboarded and brick cased, topped with a steeply pitched tiled roof. The symmetrical facade is arranged in a 2:3:2 pattern and consists of two storeys and a cellar. The central bays project slightly and have ground floor glazing bar sash windows and first floor six-pane sashes with vertical glazing bars, all set back with cambered heads. Below the first floor windows are blind horizontal panels. Above is a dentilled brick pediment with a central oculus. The outer bays have a high plinth with cellar openings. There are steps leading up to the entrances at the center, which feature recessed part-glazed doors and doorcases with reeded brackets supporting entablatures adorned with outer triglyphs and mutules. The outer ground floor has tripartite sashes, while the first floor has sashes similar to the center. There are slight rebates at the return angles. The building has stacks to the left of center and internal stacks at the ends, all positioned in front of the ridge, with the right stack slightly extruded and featuring offsets. The gable end is blind with inserted openings that have cambered heads, and the late 17th century brickwork towards the rear retains original parapets with kneelers. Extending from the rear left is an early long former service wing, which is one storey with an attic. The inner elevation has weatherboarding, two box dormers, and a ridge stack, while the outer elevation is faced in red and white brick, the latter using rat-trap bonding. At the rear center, there is a catslide roof over an early lean-to outshut with two entrances, four glazing bar sashes, a large hipped dormer, and three small two-light box dormers. To the rear right is a separate lean-to with a truncated stack on the return, extruded with tumbled in offsets. Inside, there is an early 19th century staircase with slat balusters, simple dados and cornices, some 19th century inn fittings, along with exposed timbers and early brickwork in the rear wing. The building was formerly known as the Wheatsheaf and Angel Public Houses.
