59, High Street

This is a house located at 59 High Street in Malmesbury, rebuilt in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from rendered limestone rubble with a limestone ashlar plinth, a party wall stack, and a tiled roof. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in a late Georgian style, featuring three storeys and a two-window range. The symmetrical front includes a timber doorcase with reeded jambs, a pulvinated frieze, and a rectangular overlight above a six-panel door. The front also has large, widely spaced 8/8-pane sash windows, with those on the second floor positioned beneath the eaves. The rear elevation also features 8/8-pane sashes. Inside, there is a central through-passage divided by an elliptical arch, a similar arch leading to the left-hand stair, which has stick balusters and column newels. The rear left-hand ground-floor room contains a plain stone kitchen fire surround.
