86 and 87, High Street

86 and 87 High Street is a house and shop that dates back to the early 17th century, featuring a long wing at the back on the southeast side. The building is three stories tall and constructed with roughcast timber framing, including cellars. The ground floor has an early 19th-century stone Doric front, added after 1814, which is supported by seven engaged columns. Notable architectural features include an overhang at the second floor, a moulded eaves cornice, and a parapet. The first floor has three sash windows in plain frames, while the second floor has smaller, similar windows. At the back, there are also 19th-century extensions, and the west side of the early wing projects out, featuring three gabled dormers.

Inside, the ground floor boasts original ornamented plastered ceiling beams and panelling, along with some early 18th-century panelling and a fireplace. The upper floors have been altered and adapted for use as rooms for University College since 1949, but they still retain some original plastered and ornamented ceiling beams, panelling, stone fireplaces, and an early 18th-century staircase. Historically, the site was once home to Boster Hall and the Saracen's Head. All the listed buildings on the south side form a group.
