10 and 11 High Street

Two mid-18th century houses stand on High Street. They were formerly listed as numbers 10 to 13 consecutively. The houses are built of brick, with number 10 painted and number 11 rendered, and have roofs covered in clay and slate tiles.

The houses have a broadly square footprint with entrances facing the High Street. Number 10 is the lower of the two and is situated to the left. Its ground floor features a canted oriel window with a simple surround comprising a plain entablature supported on timber corbels above pilasters with a central recessed panel and block cills. The canted faces of the oriel are composed of six fixed glazing panels with a two-light, top-opening casement above, and a larger, nine-panel face with a three-light, top-opening casement. Stone steps lead to a panelled door and doorcase, topped by a small, pedimented hood and scrolled supports. The first floor has a single eight-over-eight sash window. The steeply pitched clay-tile roof is punctuated by a multi-pane pitched roof dormer. The side elevation shows hanging tiles and the profile of the M-type roof.

Number 11, to the left of number 10, has a flat-topped, two-storey oriel window supported on moulded brackets. The windows are finished with lead flashing, and the first-floor cill and top display scalloped edges. Stone steps, flanked by metal handrails with curved ends, lead to a panelled door in a plain doorcase, topped by a reduced, pedimented hood. The second floor is full height and features a multi-pane casement window. A gable on the side has a multi-pane window to the apex.

Both houses have rear extensions, partially visible. The two-storey extension to number 10 and the three-storey extension to number 11 are faced with modern brickwork and have pitched roofs; number 10’s roof is slate and number 11’s is clay-tiled. The rear elevation of number 10 includes a centrally placed, modern window, while the rear elevation of number 11 has three modern windows on both the first and second floors. A centrally located chimney stack is visible between the pitched roofs of number 11.
