Description
32 and 33 High Street are two houses that have been converted into a shop. They date from the early to mid-19th century, with No. 33 possibly being older. No. 32 is constructed of brick and has a painted front with cement architraves around the windows; its left side wall is covered in roughcast. The front of No. 33 is rendered, likely over brick. The roof of No. 32 is not visible from the street, but it has a chimney on the left side wall. No. 33 features a slated roof with a hip at the front. The ground and first floors have been completely altered for the shop conversion.
In terms of exteriors, No. 32 is four storeys high, while No. 33 is two storeys. The ground storeys are occupied by a single 20th-century shop front. No. 32 has a three-window range, with all upper-storey windows featuring moulded architraves. The windows on the third and fourth storeys have small moulded brackets supporting the cills at either end. The windows are plain sashes without glazing bars. There is a top entablature with a dentilled modillioned cornice that overlaps the cornice at No. 31. The upper storey of No. 33 has one large window from the late 19th or early 20th century with a moulded architrave, and it features a two-light casement with transom lights. There are pilaster strips at either end of the front, rising to a dentilled eaves cornice.
The interiors of both buildings have been entirely altered on the ground and first floors. The roof structure of No. 33 may be older, as the foot of a chamfered principal rafter is visible on the first floor, but it is not accessible. Alterations to No. 32, including the shop front, were made by George L Abbot in 1850. These buildings are part of a notable group that extends south to the Guildhall.
