Description

This is an early 19th-century pair of stucco-faced buildings on the High Street. They are three storeys high, with two windows each. The buildings have a dentilled cornice and parapet in front of a tile roof with gable ends. The ground floor is rusticated and features two tripartite sash windows and doors at either end. The first and second floors have two two-storey splayed wooden bays containing sash windows with cornices; the cornices are missing from the second floor. Area railings are included as part of the listing. The buildings are included on the list for group value, contributing to the significance of the High Street buildings from number 1 through 118.
