41-45, HIGH STREET

This is a group of three houses, originally two adjoining dwellings, located on Pirtton High Street. The main part of the building dates back to the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and later centuries. Number 45 is a later 17th-century addition, also altered in the 18th and 19th centuries. The houses are timber framed and have roughcast plastering with painted brick on the ground floor of numbers 41 and 43. They are covered by steep roofs made of old red tiles.

The main range is a two-storey building with three bays, set back from the road, facing south. It has three windows on the first floor and four on the ground floor, with a door between each pair. The ground floor windows are small-paned casements, and the doors are boarded. There is a dripboard above each ground floor opening. A large internal east gable chimney is built of 18th-century brick. A gabled wing extends to the northwest. Number 45 is a two-and-a-half-storey house, set back on the east end. It has one window on each floor and a gabled dormer window at the eaves. The ground floor has a door to the left of the ground floor window, a 2-light flush casement window, and small-paned windows throughout. The eaves are lower at the rear, over an outshut. Number 45 also has an internal east gable chimney, a boarded door, and a roof with clasped purlins. Small sash windows are found in the east gable.
