49, High Street

No. 49 High Street is an attached house that has been converted into a shop and office. It was built in 1763 by Thomas Paty and features a mid-19th century shop front. The exterior is rendered with limestone ashlar, and the roof is not visible. The building is designed in a mid-Georgian style and stands three storeys tall with a three-window range. It is located on a curved corner site and has a two-storey shop front divided into three sections by panelled mullions. The shop front includes a black basalt stall riser, a doorway on the left, consoles supporting the fascia, and plate-glass display windows on the first floor, which are topped with a cornice and feature a segmental-arched centre. The first-floor windows are 6/6-pane sashes with five stepped voussoirs, while the middle and second floors have 3/6-pane casements. The interior has not been inspected. This building is part of Paty's extensive improvements to the centre and is part of a terrace that includes Nos. 47 and 48.
