Description

No. 16, High Street is an early 19th-century house, now divided into three flats. The building is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern and has paired plain tile hipped roofs with a brick stack on the right side. It is three storeys high, with an attic, and originally three bays wide. A six-panel door, featuring an overlight and semicircular tympanum ornamented with a shell, is located on the left side of the facade. To the right of the door are two sash windows, each set under a flat, gauged brick arch. The door and windows are set within arcaded recesses with stone imposts and a plinth, and scrolled keystones support projecting sills of the first-floor four-light casements, which are set under similar gauged brick flat arches with a stone sillband. Two circular iron wall ties are visible at the second-floor level. Three late 19th-century four-pane sash windows are present on the second floor, also set under flat gauged brick arches. A stone modillion cornice is topped by a red stone coped parapet, above which sit flat-roofed dormers. The right return is rendered, with a section of brickwork visible, revealing glazed brick headers. The interior of the building was not inspected.
