Description
No. 2 High Street is a 18th-century building that consists of two sections and is rough rendered. It stands three storeys tall and features a set-back section on the right. The roof overhangs on paired modillions. The building has one window with a moulded wood frame, which is a double hung sash with glazing bars. There is a square oriel window on the first floor with three lights, also double hung sashes with glazing bars, set beneath an ogival canopy. The ground floor has been modernized. The left-hand section is the same building as No. 9 Market Place. The parapet has a moulded wood cornice, and there is one window in a moulded architrave with a small cornice on vestigial brackets, which is a double hung sash with glazing bars. On the first floor, there is another window, a double hung sash without glazing bars, in a moulded wood architrave with a cornice on vestigial brackets. The ground floor here is also modern. Nos. 2 to 18 (even) form a group.
