64, 66 AND 68, HIGH STREET

Nos 64, 66, and 68 High Street are shops with storage above, originally part of a large town house, dating from the early 18th century. The building is constructed of brick and features a Kent tiled roof with a clustered ridge stack topped with plain pots. It has three storeys and a dormered attic, presenting a regular six-window range. The windows are sashes in exposed frames beneath flat brick arches, mostly consisting of eight panes and hornless, while the two second-floor windows on the right have 18 panes and are possibly original. The eaves are coved and there are three hipped dormers with moulded eaves and casement windows. The ground floor has been altered, with a mid-20th century plate-glass shop front for No 64 and a mid-20th century window set in a 19th-century surround with a deeply recessed half-glazed door for No 66. No 68 features a largely early 19th-century three-quarter glazed door under a rectangular overlight, with a shop window that has a dentilled cornice and a panelled plinth. The interior has not been inspected.
