Description

No. 8 High Street is a house from the late 17th century that has been altered. It is built of rubble stone and features a Bridgwater tile roof, with a coped gable at the north end and a stack. The house has two-and-a-half storeys and includes two coped dormer gables, each with ovolo-moulded frames for 6-pane windows and hoodmoulds above. There are dripcourses at the eaves and another 5 meters below, both interrupted for large flush stone frames that originally held sash windows but now contain 20th-century windows. On the ground floor, there is a 17th-century doorway to the left, which is flush and has an incised bead-mould, flanked by two 20th-century shallow bowed shop windows beside a central door in a chamfered flush doorcase. At the rear, there is a wing with an east end stack and a 2-light ovolo-moulded window on the north side of the first floor. Adjacent to the east is a two-storey brick building that is not of special interest.
