Description
No. 82 High Street is a house dating from the early 16th century, with a stack inserted and likely floored in the 17th century. It has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame, with bead moulded weatherboarding on the ground floor and roughcast on the first floor, while the left end is cased in brick. It has a steeply pitched tiled roof and consists of three bays, likely originally an end hall house with a central bay that was open. The house is now all two storeys high. The entrance is located to the left of centre, featuring a recessed six raised panelled door with shaped brackets supporting a flat hood. The ground floor has two-light flush frame casements with small panes and glazing bars, while the first floor has leaded lights. There is an eaves cornice, and a stack on the rear slope between the centre and right bays has a rebuilt white brick cap. The right gable end is rendered, and the left gable end has a 19th-century red brick casing with recessed two-light casements and a truncated extruded stack with offsets. To the rear left, there is a 20th-century single-storey wing with an entrance, and a taller slate-roofed outshut is located at the rear centre. A one-storey and attic wing with an outer gabled dormer is found at the rear right. Inside, there are stop-chamfered cross axial bearer and axial joists, and a crown post roof with four-way curved braces, with the post and braces also chamfered. This building was formerly known as the White Horse Public House.
