Description

No. 7 High Street is a former house, now used for storage for a shop. It dates from the mid to late 16th century and has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame with whitewashed brick infill and a tiled roof. It consists of two bays with a gable end facing the road and stands two storeys tall. The entrance is located to the left and has an original moulded four-centred arched head with carved spandrels and exposed corner posts. On the ground floor to the right, there is a 19th-century canted bay. The first floor jetties on brackets and has a three-light casement window. The half-hipped gable is tile-hung with jowled posts. The right return displays exposed mid rail and close studding on the first floor. At the rear, the exposed framing is visible in the half-hipped gable. Inside, there are jowled posts supporting cambered tie beams with queen struts that clasp purlins, along with curved windbraces and tension braces in the walling. There is a one-storey brick addition to the rear that is not of special interest. To the left, the building adjoins No. 5.
