20 High Street

House, now commercial premises. Built in the C16, remodelled in the early C19, altered in 2022.

MATERIALS: brick frontage (painted and part-rendered), concrete-tile pitched roof, brick chimney stacks to east end. The rear wing is built of coursed stone with a slate roof.

PLAN: fat L-shaped plan comprising the front range to High Street, and a rear wing.

EXTERIOR: the front range is two storeys, with four window bays to the principal elevation. The left-hand doorway has a C20 door, and the timber shopfront dates from 2022. At first-floor level there are four horned plate-glass sash windows beneath a shallow corbelled parapet. The deep, rubble-stone wing to the rear has a half-hipped roof.

INTERIOR: reported by RCHME to include a C16 roof with cambered tie-beams and collars, with the potential for other C16 features to be buried in the remodelled fabric.
