Description
No. 12 High Street is a house that was originally a police station and is now a shop. It dates from the mid-18th century and was altered in the mid-19th century, with a shop front added in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with limestone dressings, featuring an ashlar right-hand gable stack and a slate roof. The shop front has plate glass and includes a right-hand passage entrance. The first floor is made of stone and has a large 19th-century Venetian window with a central 6/6-pane sash, a cornice, and a low blocking course, along with two dormers that have casements and hipped roofs. At the rear, there is a blocked 2-light 18th-century window with chamfered mullions. The interior has been altered for the ground-floor shop and it was formerly the police station until around 1886.
