65, High Street

No. 65 High Street is a detached house dating from the early 18th century, with minor alterations from the early 19th century. It features coursed rubble walls with stone dressings, an end-gabled pantile roof, and end brick stacks that were obscured by ivy at the time of the survey. The house has a 2-unit central-entry plan and is two stories high with a symmetrical facade that includes a central doorway. The windows are early 19th-century paired casements with two panes, set in edge-moulded architraves that indicate the original mullions, which are now lost. The door is an early 19th-century plank door with a wooden gabled hood supported by simple wooden brackets. Although the interior was not inspected, it was noted that the front ground-floor rooms had been gutted of internal features. This house is a good example of a modest early 18th-century vernacular cottage that remains relatively unaltered on the exterior, although it is in very poor condition and unoccupied at the time of the survey.
