No 2 Including No 1 High Street

No. 2 including No. 1 High Street is an 18th-century house, likely dating to the early to mid-18th century, with alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is now two shops. The building is constructed of rendered and painted brick with timber studwork and brick infill, and has a plain tile roof. It is two storeys with an attic, and has two bays on the High Street elevation and two bays on the Bridge Street elevation. No. 1 High Street has a 20th-century rear extension, which is not of special interest.

The High Street elevation features a mid-20th century shop front on the right-hand side, above which is a four-pane sash window. To the left of the shop front is a bowed shop window on the corner, with curved glass panes over a low stall riser, slender pilasters, a narrow fascia, and a corniced flat roof supporting large wooden letters reading 'TOBACCONIST'. A 20th-century door is located to the right of this window, and above the door is a four-pane sash with a moulded wooden hood. A dentilled and moulded wooden eaves cornice runs along the roofline, broken by the right-hand window. The roof is hipped with parallel ridges running behind at right angles and hipped at the rear ends.

The Bridge Street return elevation has a curved shop window that returns from the corner. To the left of the curved window is a 19th-century shop front with narrow pilasters, a deep fascia, low glazed brick stall risers, a central doorway in an angled recess, and slender columns with bulbous bases and capitals to the windows. On the first floor is a four-light wooden casement window with a transom and a moulded timber hood. The eaves are treated similarly to the High Street elevation. A gabled dormer with a casement window is also present. A rendered stack is located at the left end of the building.

The interior of No. 2 Bridge Street includes leaded casement secondary windows above low cupboards to the wider shop front, decorative bracketed shelves, a 19th-century staircase, and on the first floor, dado panelling (partially removed) and a fireplace with a dentilled and flinted cornice and a later iron inset. In the attic, a roof truss features a tie-beam and collar. No. 1 High Street has late 19th-century board doors and partitions on the first floor, and a queen strut roof truss with purlins carried on principal rafters. The building occupies an important corner site in the historic centre of Andover. It is included for group value.
