96, High Street

This is a house dating from the mid to late 17th century, which was refaced in the mid to late 18th century. It is timber-framed and rendered, with a red brick front. The roof is tiled and half-hipped. Originally, the house likely had a through-passage plan, with three distinct cells. It has two storeys and an attic.

The ground floor has a recessed plank door to the left of centre, with shaped brackets and a moulded hood over the top. To the left of the door is a three-light casement window, while the other windows are cross casements, all set in flush frames with cambered heads. Projecting brick courses define the eaves. There are two dormers on the roof, over the outer bays. A ridge stack is located to the right of centre, with a second stack added behind the ridge. The end walls are rendered, with some brick cladding to the left. A lean-to stair outshut is at the rear of the centre of the house, featuring a horizontal sliding sash window.

To the rear right is a two-storey early wing, partly weatherboarded, with a hipped dormer and a hipped roof. Further to the rear, a low red brick and tiled structure formerly served as stables.

Inside, the house features stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and a 17th-century inglenook fireplace. The building was formerly the Cross Keys Public House.
