Description
No. 12 High Street is a house that has been converted into a shop. It features an early to mid 19th-century refronting of an earlier structure. The building is made of painted ashlar and has a steep-pitched stone slate roof with an external stone stack that has a brick shaft on the right gable end. The layout is double-depth, with a 19th-century facade and a rear addition.
The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical arrangement of five windows. The parapet and cornice are shaped to follow the slope of the roof, indicating that the front has been altered. The first floor has 6/1-pane sash windows with moulded architraves and bracketed sills. There are chamfered rusticated pilasters, with the one on the right featuring a plinth and cornice between the floors. The shop front was added in the 20th century.
Inside, at the rear of the first floor, there is an early 18th-century six-panel door and a mid-18th-century four-panel door. Next to these is a window with three rows of four crown-glass panes, which has thick ovolo-moulded glazing bars and likely opens onto what was once a courtyard, now a room. The roof structure has three bays and features a butt-purlin design with a slightly arched collar beam.
