Description

No. 7 High Street is a house that likely dates from the early 18th century, although it has been altered in the 20th century. The exterior is roughcast, probably over stone rubble, and it features a plain-tile roof with a rendered stack on the left side. The house is two stories high and has a two-window range. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door topped with a flat hood. All window openings have tripartite replacement windows from the 20th century. The interior has not been inspected. At the rear, there is a subsidiary wing with irregular window arrangements. This building is included for its group value with other nearby structures.
