Description
No. 7 High Street is a house that may have served as a shop, dating from the early 18th century, possibly incorporating an earlier core. It is constructed of red brick with occasional grey headers in Flemish bond and features a plain tile roof. The building is double depth, with the front section on the ground floor divided into one large room and a narrow room to the right. The rear section likely consists of one room, with stairs partitioned off against the left wall and a stack to the right.
The building has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar. The roof of the front section is half-hipped to the left, while the rear elevation has two adjacent hips and a brick stack to the right. A central gabled dormer is present, and the front has a regular three-window arrangement of glazing-bar sashes. To the left of the ground floor, there is a three-light late 19th-century shop window. The central door, which is recessed, has four fielded and two flush panels, with a panelled architrave, and is accessed by four steps. The doorcase features pilasters with narrow sunk panels and a flat bracketed hood.
On the rear elevation, there is a central door with flush panels and a flat bracketed hood, also accessed by four steps, with a railing to one side. Inside, the ground floor has plain 18th-century sunk panelling. The front right-hand room on the ground floor includes shutters, a dado rail, and a moulded cornice, along with iron grates. The side purlin roof is visible, and the rear section is slightly lower than the front, with wall-plates morticed for studs.
