Description

Morris Stores is a house and outbuildings, now functioning as a shop and associated buildings, dating from the early 19th century. The structure is built of ashlar, with the ground floor partly painted, and features slate roofs behind a parapet and a moulded cornice. It has two storeys and an elevation facing Church Hill with three bays, which include glazing bar sash windows, a plat band, and a central six-panel door beneath an overlight with hexagonal and diamond glazing.

The building continues along High Street with two additional three-bay blocks connected by a lower link section. In the north block, the right windows are blocked, and there is a mid to late 19th-century shopfront with a dentilled cornice on brackets, along with a door under a decorative overlight. The link block features a wide central door beneath a flat stone hood on brackets. The south block has glazing bar sash windows behind iron bars on the ground floor, while the first floor is blocked with a central loading bay and a plain door. The building occupies a corner site with a three-bay elevation facing Church Hill.
