17, High Street, Kent Cottage, Cromers Cottage, and The House and The Shop

This range of timber-framed buildings, comprising 17 High Street, Kent Cottage, Cromers Cottage, The House, and The Shop, forms a group with Mills Bakery. The structures likely date from the 15th to the 17th century. They have tiled roofs, notably high-pitched with a hipped right side, a lower central section sharing a chimney stack, and a higher section to the left.

The two-storey building has eight windows in total. The first floor is pebble-dashed, the ground floor is incised rendered, except for a brick section on the left. This left section, which contains The House and The Shop (one window each), features early 19th-century sash windows on the first floor, revealing the underlying timber framing and cow-dung plaster, and old weatherboarding on the ground floor.

The central section – Cromers Cottage (one window) and Kent Cottage (two windows) – has 19th-century one-bar casement windows, alongside four-panel and plain plank doors, each protected by bracketed hoods. This central section slightly overlaps the three-window section on the right, which is 17 High Street. 17 High Street has 19th-century one-bar casements on the first floor, two glazed doors, and two flat shop windows on the ground floor, one of which retains bars.
