Description
No. 72 High Street is a house dating from the early 17th century, with a mid-17th century rear wing. It has a late 19th-century brick casing and some 20th-century alterations. The building is timber-framed but is now encased in red brick, featuring plain tile roofs. The left gable has a brick stack, while an additional stack is located on the right gable, set off-center from the ridge.
The exterior is two stories high with a two-window front, and a lower two-story wing at the rear. The central entrance features a six-panelled door, with the two central panels being glazed, set within a simple doorcase that has a hood supported by scrolled consoles. To the left of the door is a 6/6 unhorned sash window beneath a concrete lintel, and to the right is a 20th-century canted bay window. On the first floor, there are two 3/3 unhorned sash windows.
At the rear, the wing has new windows and doorways. Inside, the front part of the house displays exposed timber framing with thin scantling and chamfered tongue-stopped bridging beams. There is a brick cellar with redundant 19th-century external stairs. On the first floor of the rear wing, nine panels of early 17th-century small-framed panelling and an arcaded frieze are preserved, along with two early 18th-century two-panel doors on HL-hinges.
