Description
This is a house located at 79 High Street, dating from the 17th century or early 18th century, with renovations made in the early 19th century. The building features a timber frame with roughcast exterior, and the ground floor in the northern part and the eastern wall in the southern part are covered in painted brick. It has a steeply pitched roof that is now covered with slate, and the eaves have a plaster soffit.
The house is 1½ storeys high and consists of two cells, positioned on a slope with the entrance located at the northern gable end facing the road. Inside, there is a chimney on the eastern wall of the northern bay. The northern front displays plain bargeboards, a central sash window with three over six panes in a flush frame, and an early 19th-century canted bay window with small pane casements to the left of a plank door, which is accessed by two steps and set in a heavy frame under a segmental arch. The western side features a large flush two-light casement window in the southern bay with small panes, and there is a three-light casement in a gabled dormer at the eaves above. The building is included for its group value with other nearby structures.
