Description
No. 137 High Street is a house, now a shop, dating from around 1740. It is constructed of stone with a patterned brick front set on a high, moulded plinth. The roof is stone-slate with three hipped dormers at the front and two at the rear. The building is two storeys tall, with an attic and a cellar, and features three structural bays. Inside, there is a central entrance hall flanked by reception rooms and a four-flue stack on the rear wall. The elevation has five window bays and a central entrance, topped by a broken pediment that holds an urn on acanthus consoles. The entrance has a panelled doorcase with two steps leading up to it, and the door itself is five-panelled, with the upper panel being glazed. The windows are early 19th-century, margin-glazed, and are adorned with a moulded entablature that features a key motif and a horizontal cornice, along with round moulded sills and a panelled parapet. Inside, the left reception room is fully panelled and includes a cornice.
