44, High Street

No. 44 High Street is an attached house that has been converted into a shop and offices. It was built in 1908 by JH Hirst and is designed in the Medieval Domestic Revival style. The building features a mock timber-frame exterior with render, brick stacks, and a pantile roof. It has a double-depth plan and stands four storeys high with a three-window range. The gabled front includes a 20th-century shop front with a doorway on the left, plate-glass windows, and a cornice. The facade showcases applique timber-framing with slight cornices on each floor and boxed eaves. The first and second floors have rounded tiles over shallow bays with five-casement windows that include mullions and transoms, with the upper floor having narrower windows. The third floor features two two-window casements flanking a central four-window casement with small panes. The interior has been largely remodelled in the mid-20th century, and the left-hand stair has turned balusters.
