28 High Street

A former house, later used as a bank and now offices, built around the 1780s. The building is constructed of brick with a double hipped slate roof concealed behind a parapet. The main block fronts the street, linked to a rear wing, with flanking brick chimney stacks.

The front elevation is a symmetrical three-bay range of three storeys. The outer bays feature bowed window bays extending from the ground to the base of the parapet, likely added in the early 19th century. These have flat, brick arches of Flemish bond, as is also seen in the extreme left-hand section of the front. The areas between the windows use a stretcher bond, while the remainder of the front displays an unusual variant of Flemish bond, consisting of two headers between each stretcher. The ground floor has two 20th-century, twenty-pane bow windows. The first and second floors have hornless tripartite sash windows; the first floor's central sash is eight-over-eight, flanked by one-over-two pane sashes, while the second floor's central sash is four-over-eight, with one-over-two pane sashes on either side. The middle bay has hornless sash windows to the first and second floors, with six panes to both the top and bottom on the first floor, and three panes above and six below on the second. A central doorway is topped by an open pediment supported by engaged Tuscan columns, with fielded panel reveals and a soffit above a semi-circular-headed door which has a fanlight. It is approached by three steps with 20th-century railings. The right-hand elevation, facing St Andrews Road, has a single doorway and no windows.

The rear elevation includes two tripartite, hornless sash windows with crown glass to the first and second floors. The first floor's windows have two panes above and two below the side lights, and six panes in the centre sash; the second floor’s windows have one pane above and two below the side lights and three panes above and six below in the centre. A further sash window on the second floor has three panes above and six below. A semi-circular headed stairwell window with intersecting glazing bars to a twelve-pane sash has been subsequently lengthened by nine panes. The rear wing includes a four-light casement window to the ground floor with twelve leaded panes to each light and a floriated catch; a two-light casement window to the first floor with eighteen leaded panes per light; and a three-light casement window with a ring catch to the second floor with fifteen leaded panes per light. The gabled end elevation of the rear wing features a four-light casement window at second-floor level with eighteen leaded panes per light.
