Description
120 High Street is a terraced building featuring a ground-floor shop. The front of the building dates from the 18th century or early 19th century, although it may have older origins.
The main south-facing elevation is constructed of purple-grey brick laid in header bond, with red-brick and stucco detailing. A stucco plat band runs between the first and second floors, and there is a stucco cornice at the top. The front section has a pitched roof covered with slate, which is hipped at the eastern end. The window openings are fitted with timber sash frames.
The main part of the building has a roughly square plan, with several later additions extending to the north.
The front elevation consists of three storeys and is three bays wide. On the eastern side, there is an entrance featuring a recessed six-panelled door topped by a rectangular overlight, accessed by a stone step. The ground floor is mainly occupied by a shopfront from the early 21st century. Above this, the windows are framed in red brick with flat arches, and the openings contain six-over-six sash frames. The building has red-brick quoins, a stucco plat band separating the first and second storeys, and a painted moulded eaves cornice with a plain frieze and parapet. Additionally, three forked metal straps secure the western corner of the building.
