12A, High Street

No 12A is a house dating from the 14th or 15th century that has been altered. It features a painted rendered front with a stone slate roof and an east end stack. The building is two storeys high with a gabled front, and the right gable includes a cross wing with a stack on the west side. The windows have been renewed and include triple and pair casements on the first floor, two pairs below, and a central door. This house appears to be the west end of an open hall house that is partly incorporated into No 12, originally built with a timber frame, featuring a massive central collar truss and one and a half bays of wind bracing. The cross wing is likely the two-storey upper end of the hall house. On the ground floor of the east side, there is a large fireplace with a timber lintel that has been inserted, along with a chamfered and stopped beam.
