Description
No 137 on High Street is a commercial building dating from the 18th century, with possible earlier origins and later alterations, including a shop front from around 1900. The exterior is stuccoed and features a plain tile roof, with a shop front made of glazed blue tiles. The building has two storeys and two first-floor windows, with a wing extending to the rear left.
The shop front showcases a full-width segmental archway with imposts, decorative spandrels, and a cow's head keystone, flanked by ribbed columns on plinths. The Ionic capitals of the columns incorporate cows' heads and support an entablature with an egg and dart cornice, a central dentilled segmental pediment, and a fascia board covering the frieze and pediment. Within the archway, there is a recessed shop door flanked by windows; the door has a fielded panel at the base and glass above. The windows are set on plinths with canted inner returns, and the right-hand window retains its glazing bars. A continuous small-pane overlight is present but blocked, and the pavement is made of black and white tiles.
On the first floor, there are two low small-pane casement windows, consisting of two and three lights, and a parapet crowns the building.
At the rear, there is an old wing on the right with altered window openings, a lateral stack on the left, dentilled eaves, and a hipped roof. A 20th-century addition in the angle with the main range is not of special interest.
Inside, the building retains a few old timber posts and beams.
