Description
No. 92 High Street is an inn that has been converted into a house, dating back to around 1600, with a stack and stair added in the late 17th century. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with stone dressings, featuring a central stone ridge stack topped with brick and brick end gable stacks. It has a slate hipped roof, with slate and pantile covering the rear wing. The layout is L-shaped with a single-depth plan, including a lobby entry, a rear kitchen wing to the west, and a later stable to the east.
The exterior is two storeys high with an attic and has a three-window range. The front is nearly symmetrical, featuring timber lintels over a recessed doorway with a six-panel door. To the right, there is a former passage entrance leading to the rear, which has a boarded door, and above it, an infilled hoist door with dressed jambs. The ground floor has paired early 19th-century six-over-six pane sash windows, while the first floor features four-light mullion windows with cavetto mouldings, labels, and leaded metal casements, along with a small central casement. There are chamfered dressings to a small blocked light above the entrance, straight joints indicating a former central first-floor window, and a wide three-light basement window set in the plinth.
Inside, the building includes chamfered ceiling beams on the ground floor, and a notable central open-well staircase with square newels adorned with pendants and finials, a heavy rail, moulded uncut string, and turned balusters. The first floor contains a three-plank door and beams with bar chamfer stops, along with an 18th-century eared fire surround. In the attic, there is a chamfered door surround leading to the rear wing, which features re-used cruck blades in a collar truss roof. Historically, it is suggested that the building may have originally had a west wing extending to a street gable, which was rebuilt around 1700.
