Description

Miles Travel and The Kitchen Shop is a house that has been converted into two shops. It dates back to the 16th century but was refronted in the 18th century. The building is timber-framed and covered with weatherboarding. It features a modillion eaves cornice beneath a plain tiled roof, with stacks located behind the ridge on the left and in the center. There are two flat-headed dormers at the left end of the roof. The building has a continuous jetty that is now boxed in and underbuilt on the left side.

It stands two storeys high and has an irregular arrangement of five windows on the first floor. To the left, there are two 19th-century wood-framed square oriel windows, while to the right, there are three glazing bar sash windows. The ground floor has a double shop front with a central glazed door on the left, flanked by a half-glazed door (for No 15) on the right and a boarded door. In the center, there is a late 18th-century canted bay under the jetty, which includes a half-glazed door with a transom light to the right and another shop front further to the right. At the extreme right, there is a square-headed carriage entrance with boarded doors. This property was part of the Rectorial property until 1791.
