Description
Nos. 2 and 3 High Street is a hotel that has been converted into shops, dating from around 1835. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar with part-rendered rubblestone at the rear wing. It features a double-pitched slate roof with moulded ashlar stacks and stone coping on the gable ends. The structure has a double-depth plan with a rear left wing.
The exterior is two storeys high and has an eight-window range. A wide semicircular-arched carriage entrance, which is now glazed, rises one-and-a-half storeys and has chamfered arrises. This entrance is flanked by full-height splayed pilasters topped with pyramidal caps above the blocking course. There is a band at the first-floor level. Above the arch, there is a three-light window with semicircular-arched lights and 4/4-pane sash windows, along with a sill band that spans the central bay. To the right, a semicircular-arched doorway, which is now a window, is situated below a shallow splayed oriel window that has similar but taller windows. On the left side of the first floor, there are paired plate-glass sash windows beneath a bracketed cornice. The cornice and blocking course extend across the facade, with a raised plaque in the center that reads "1835."
The rear wing has a roof that is hipped to the back and features a blank ashlar wall on the left side, which has 16 iron rings for harnessing horses. The right-hand wall is rendered and includes a planked door leading to a gabled loading bay, a three-light window to the left with 12/12-pane sashes, and various 20th-century windows and doors, along with four harnessing rings on the right side.
Historically, the building was mentioned in 1703 as previously being known as the New Inn.
