36 And 37, High Street

This is a pair of houses and a shop, dating back to the 16th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century. The building is timber-framed and rendered, with a plain tiled roof. It has three framed bays. The houses have two storeys and a basement, displaying a continuous jetty with a moulded bressumer that extends beneath the right-hand side of number 36. The roof is hipped with a gablet to the left and steps forward slightly above number 36. Stacks are located to the rear left and right. The windows on the first floor include sash windows to the right and leaded wooden casements with one or two lights. On the ground floor are a leaded wooden casement with shutters to the left, a three-light plate glass window in the centre, and a canted bay window at the right-hand end. The entrances consist of a six-panelled and fielded door with a rectangular fanlight, a half-glazed door with a rectangular fanlight in the centre, and a panelled door in a panelled surround to the centre right. The interior reveals that numbers 36 and 37 were originally built as one structure, despite their differing external appearances. The original design included a complete continuous jetty with an undercroft to number 36. Notable features include elaborately moulded joists. Rear additions were made in the early 17th century.
