12, High Street

No 12 High Street is a late 18th-century double pile house featuring a stuccoed facade. It has stringcourses at the first and second floor sill heights, an eaves cornice, and a parapet, topped with an old tiled roof. The building stands three storeys tall and has three sash windows with glazing bars, along with a three-light bay on the ground and first floors at the south end. The other windows are framed in moulded architrave surrounds. A fine porch with fluted Doric columns, a pediment, and a semi-circular fanlight leads to a door with six fielded panels. There is also a carriageway arch on the south side, set in a stuccoed wall with a pediment above. Some alterations occurred in the early 20th century, including the addition of a rear ballroom. This building is part of a group of listed buildings on High Street and Union Street, which includes the listed street lamps, Nos 1 and 2, the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, the Red Lion Hotel, and No 10 East Street. No 45 High Street is noted for its local interest.
