4, High Street

No. 4 High Street is a shop with accommodation above and at the rear, dating from the early 19th century, with parts of the rear wing possibly being older and late 19th century alterations. The building is constructed of painted Flemish bond brick and features a slate roof with a stack that has a handmade brick shaft.

The layout is L-shaped, with the shop located in the main block and a cartway to the right leading into a narrow court known as Fountain Court. The exterior consists of three storeys and has an asymmetrical two-bay front. It features deep eaves supported by paired moulded eaves brackets. The shop front, which is a symmetrical late 19th or early 20th century addition, has windows that are canted inwards, with steps leading up to a central door that has a single panel at the bottom beneath a large plate glass pane, along with a plain glazed overlight. The shop windows are large plate glass with curved upper corners, and the fascia angles outwards with a moulded cornice.

The cartway leading to Fountain Court has timber spandrels supported by small brackets. On the first floor, the window on the right is an early 19th century 12-pane sash, while the left window has been replaced with a tall late 19th century canted bay window that features a moulded cornice. This bay window is transomed with three-pane casements below and geometrical glazing bars above, including some stained glass. There are also two first floor windows with three over six-pane sashes.

Through the cartway and facing Fountain Court, there is an early 19th century pilastered doorcase with an entablature and panelled reveals, leading to a 20th century glazed door. The gabled rear wing includes several blocked windows, some with timber lintels, and may be older than the main block. The interior has not been inspected.
