18 AND 18A, HIGH STREET (See details for further address information)

These are a pair of houses located on High Street, Twerton, with an additional block extending to Mill Lane. The main block dates to the late 18th century, and a further range was added around 1870.

The buildings are constructed of limestone ashlar to the front elevations, with rubble returns, and have a roman tile roof. The original pair of houses originally featured a parallel range with a central valley, set back from the street. A separate block was later added on the corner of the two streets, partially obscuring the lower floors of the left-hand side of the original building.

The main block is three storeys high and has two windows, with plain sash windows in reveals to each floor. A panelled door, with transom light, sits beneath a slab stone hood supported by shaped brackets. The added range, at No. 18A, is two storeys high with a hipped roof. It features two plain sashes above a contemporary shopfront, with a recessed central door flanked by multi-pane display windows with thin mullions, and a deep fascia. A weathered string course runs around three sides of this block above ground floor level. The main block has a cavetto cornice with a blocking course, and raised coped verges to both ranges, topped by ashlar stacks in two stages. The return side, to Mill Lane, has two gables, the one to the left being lower than the other, alongside a later range all on the same plane. This section has some ashlar to mainly rubble gables with plain sashes, one of which has margin panes, and a door to No. 3 which is four-panelled with a narrow transom light. Some sashes are also present on the rear wall. The interior has not been inspected.
