Description
99 High Road is a house that dates from the late 16th century and has been altered over time. It features a timber frame with the front and rear facades faced in common bricks, while the gable ends are rendered and the outshut is clad in clapboard. The roof is covered with black glazed pantiles. The building has a two-room plan and a three-bay frame with a central through passage. There is a single-storey outshut on the northwest gable end, and the house is one-and-a-half storeys tall.
The facade consists of three bays, with a central panelled door flanked by three-light early 19th-century casement windows set beneath cambered arches. The windows have metal casements and horizontal glazing bars. On the first floor, there are two 2-light casement windows. The facing brick between the floors is chamfered and offset. The rear facade features two 2-light casement windows with leaded glazing and metal casements, along with a central doorway. Gable-end stacks are present.
Inside, the former through passage retains its original service partition and has a blocked central doorway leading to a single service room. The hall includes a transverse bridging joist supported on plain brackets attached to the principal posts. The joists are chamfered with plain straight stops. The roof, dating from the 19th or 20th century, has surviving original cambered ties, along with empty mortices for arch braces and queen posts. Braces to the corner posts are still visible. The jowls of the southwest principal posts align with the wall plates rather than the tie beams. A winder staircase is located beside the stack in the hall (in the left-hand room), and the fireplace features a 19th-century range.
