Description
Nos. 16 and 18 High Street is a house that has been converted into a shop, dwelling, and offices. It dates from the early 18th century and was altered and extended around 1820. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features chamfered rustication on its stucco front. It has a gabled Welsh slate roof and a brick stack at one end. The structure is L-shaped with a rear right wing, standing two storeys tall with an attic and a five-window range.
The shop windows, dating from around 1850, have round-arched lights and a moulded cornice, flanking two early 19th-century six-panelled doors (two of which are glazed) with a pediment hood to the left. The first floor has keyed architraves surrounding early 19th-century six-pane sashes and two mid-19th-century two-pane sashes to the right. Hipped dormers feature two-light casements.
At the rear, there is an 18th-century wing to the left made of limestone rubble with a gabled Welsh slate roof, and an early 19th-century three-storey wing to the rear right, constructed of brick with a Welsh slate roof.
Inside, there are 19th-century panelled doors. In No. 16, the ground floor has chamfered and cased beams, while the first floor features early 19th-century shutters and an ogee-stopped chamfered beam. The ground floor also has stone flag floors, and at the rear, there are ogee-stopped beams and winder steps leading to a blocked cellar. The early 19th-century rear wing contains stone winder steps to an old cellar, as well as dog-leg stairs with a landing, featuring stick balusters and ramped handrails. No. 18 has remnants of 18th-century panelling on the ground floor and a butt-purlin roof.
