Description
No. 119 on High Street is a house and shop that dates from the 16th to 17th centuries, with an early 18th-century front. The building features three stories of timber framing above cellars, topped with a Welsh slate roof that has a large pedimented attic dormer, which is now in a modern casing. A heavy moulded eaves cornice adds to the architectural detail, while the east gable end is roughcast.
On the ground floor, there is a modern double bow window for the shop front. The first floor has two tall 18th-century pedimented windows, which are set beneath a continuous entablature. The second floor contains two plain sash windows in moulded frames. At the back, there is a two-storeyed roughcast wing that features an overhang on the east side and retains some early window frames on the ground floor.
Inside, the building includes an original 18th-century wall staircase and several 17th-century stone fireplaces. All the listed buildings on the south side of High Street form a group.
