Description
No. 198 on High Street is an 18th-century house that has been converted into an office. It features a combination of red and brown brick with a tile-hung right-hand return front and a pan-tiled roof that is partly hidden by a stone-coped parapet. The building stands three storeys tall and has rear stacks.
The front has three windows, with three blind panels in the parapet above and three 12-pane, glazing-bar sash windows on the second floor, which are set under gauged brick heads, with the center window featuring a keystone. On the first floor, there are two 12-pane, glazing-bar sash windows flanking a central triple sash window, all framed within a stone architrave that has a bay leaf frieze beneath a cornice hood supported by volute scrolls. A section of balcony railings runs across the front. The ground floor has a panelled wood and plate-glass design, with a door located at the right end. There are lower extensions at the rear of the building.
