80 High Street

80 High Street is a house that has been converted into an office. It dates from the mid to late 17th century and has been altered over time. The building is constructed from Bargate rubblestone with red brick dressings and has a plain tile roof. It is two storeys high with an attic and consists of two bays.

The front features a recessed late 20th-century shop front, which is not of special interest. Above this is a deep cornice with a frieze that includes projecting ovals and lozenges, along with tile weathering. On the first floor, there are brick pilaster strips that rise into paired round-arched panels between the bays. The two wide windows have flat brick arches and four-light, leaded iron casements topped with cusped canopies. The double cornice has a lower section with half-rounded dentils and an upper section with modillions that support a 19th-century decorative metal gutter.

In the attic, there is a band of I-shaped pilasters with taller pilasters above, leading to two shaped gables. Each gable has a two-light window with a flat brick arch and leaded iron casements, a roundel frieze, and a dog-tooth band below the cornice, topped with a triangular pediment that has a lozenge in the tympanum. The roof is concealed, with end stacks on both the left and right sides, which are half-hipped.

At the rear, there is a late 20th-century extension that obscures the ground floor and much of the first floor, which is not of special interest. However, traces of former first-floor window openings are still visible, along with the first-floor cornice. The attic features two small-pane, two-light windows in the shaped, pedimented gables, and there are brick stacks with coupled flues on the left side and right corner.

Inside, the ground floor has chamfered beams with lambs tongue stops, and there is a late 19th-century decorative iron spiral staircase leading down to the cellar. The building is similar in style to numbers 74-76A, which are dated 1663, and it showcases interesting examples of 17th-century decorative brickwork.
