Description
No. 68 High Street is a small house, likely built in the late 18th century but altered in the late 19th century. It features roughcast cob construction with a slate roof at the front and a corrugated iron roof on the rear wing, which probably replaced thatch. The rear stack has a brick shaft with brick bands. The house is two storeys high with an asymmetrical two-window front and deep eaves supported by eaves brackets. There is a 19th-century four-panel door on the left, with the bottom panels flush, and a small 20th-century casement window next to it. The first floor on the left has a small pane two-light 20th-century casement, while the right side has late 19th-century two-pane sash windows with margin panes on both the ground and first floors. The left side of the main block is blind. The rear wing includes a 20th-century door and one ground floor and two first floor 20th-century casements. Inside, the house retains a mid-19th-century chimneypiece and some 19th-century joinery. It was originally part of a group of buildings around a court, which has been demolished since 1972.
