Description

Nos 2 to 5 High Street is a range of houses dating from the late medieval period with some later additions. The buildings are timber-framed with plaster panels and feature a stone slate roof with two stacks on the front slope. They are two storeys high and form an L-plan with a gabled crosswing to the right.

No 2, which was formerly the Post Office, has three leaded casement windows on the first floor, a ground floor shopfront to the left that is likely from the 19th century, a canted bay with eight-pane windows, a paired front entrance with a six-panel door under a slate hood, and a small 20th-century window to the right. No 3 features two pairs of upper casement windows, a ground floor door leading to a passage, and a casement pair to the right. No 4, located in the crosswing gable, showcases fine exposed timber framing, a cambered tie-beam with opposing curved angle braces, a jettied first floor supported by curved tension braces, and ground floor posts that curve out beneath the jetty. It also has small canted timber-mullion four-light windows on each floor. The 17th-century rear wing includes an end stack, two pairs of upper casement windows, a ground floor ovolo-moulded two-light stone mullion window, and a door. No 5 is likely a 17th-century addition to the rear of No 4, consisting of a single storey and attic with a large gabled four-light dormer, a ground floor three-light casement with a timber lintel, and a door to the right.

Inside, the front range (Nos 2 to 4) is entirely cruck-framed, probably comprising six bays of full crucks. No 3 contains a notable moulded 15th-century fireplace with a four-centred arch that is corbelled out from the jambs. The upper room of No 4, in the crosswing, features a single bay windbraced roof. The rear wing of No 4 has Tudor-arched moulded stone fireplaces with stone shelves, one on each floor.
