50, High Street

No. 50 High Street is a shop with a dwelling above and to the rear, dating from the early 16th century, with a later 16th-century wing added at the back. The building is two storeys high with attics and features a timber-framed structure that is plastered. The upper floor used to have a jettied design along the street front. The roof is slated.

On the first storey, there are mid-19th century sash windows, including a long three-part window, with each part having twin segmental-headed lights. The ground storey features a pair of large-pane shop windows and a glazed pair of panelled entrance doors, all dating from around 1980. To the left, there is a two-bay hall with part of a service room doorway that has ogee-moulded jambs and signs of an arched head. The twin service rooms on the right have been combined with a small room, which may have originally been a shop, at the far right.

Originally, the first storey included a long room, likely used as a workshop, with a small chamber above the hall. The well-exposed framing on the first storey is now hidden by the shop front, but there is a moulded bressumer supported by heavy joist-ends. A narrow rear wing was added in the later 16th century, featuring a long-wall jetty along the south side.
