79, High Street

79 High Street is a house dating from the mid to late 18th century, which was refurbished in the late 20th century. It is constructed of limestone rubble, previously roughcast, and features a brick gable stack on the right side and a stone slate roof. The building has a single room plan with a right-angle rear wing and stands three storeys tall with a one-window range. The left-hand doorway has timber lintels and contains a four-panel door, while the 19th-century timber shop front has a small cornice and four panes. The first floor has late 19th-century horned 2/2-pane sash windows, and the second floor has hornless 2/2-pane sashes. The lower gabled rear wing includes a basement that can be accessed from the garden. Inside, the house formerly had a through-passage from the doorway beneath a lateral rear stair, which is now a left-hand dogleg. Notable interior details include stop-chamfered ceiling beams, and the gabled rear two-storey extension has heavy re-used purlins, with a cellar beneath that has a former blocked fireplace.
