Description

73 High Street is a terraced shop with flats above, built in the early 19th century.

The building is made of brick, which is rendered on the front elevation. The gable ends are hung with slate, and it features a clay tile roof along with a red brick chimney topped with red clay chimney pots.

It has a rectangular plan with a narrower front elevation facing the High Street, retaining the historic burgage plot width typical of the area.

The structure stands three storeys high and is two bays wide. The ground floor includes a shopfront with stallrisers that have a faux quarry-faced stone finish, and two curved shopfront windows, each divided into sixteen lights. The upper lights of these windows are further divided into three leaded windows with mottled and bullseye glazing. There is a central recessed porch with an eight-pane glazed door beneath a transom light. Above the shopfront, a fascia panel displays modern signage, and a shallow projecting box hood is present. To the east of the shopfront, there is an entrance to the flats above, featuring a six-panelled timber door and a transom light flanked by Doric pilasters. A plain freeze and cornice run across the top of the ground floor. On the first floor, there are two recessed eight-over-eight sash windows without sash horns. The second floor has two recessed four-over-eight sash windows, also without sash horns, and a wooden eaves cornice.
