70, High Street

70 High Street is a house and shop premises dating from around the mid-17th century, with alterations made in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The building features a stuccoed timber-frame front and stone side walls, topped with a slate hipped roof that was formerly gabled at the front.

The structure has a single-bay, three-storey front and consists of two rooms deep with two chimney stacks and a newel staircase located on the southwest side. The ground floor includes an early 20th-century shop front with colonnette mullions, elliptical arch panes, and an entablature. On the first and second floors, there are pairs of 4-pane sashes with horns, which have replaced a former 17th-century oriel window.

At the rear, facing South Street, there is a bakery built in 1907, constructed of white glazed brick with red brick bands and a gabled front. This section features a central doorway with a loading door above on the first floor, flanking casements, and an oculus in the gable above.

Inside, the internal partitions on the ground floor have been removed. The first floor retains remnants of a 17th-century moulded plaster ceiling cornice, an early 18th-century panelled partition, and two-panel doors. The second floor has a lightly constructed stud-and-panel partition with scratch moulding and a panelled door. There is a 17th-century panelled door leading to the attics, which also contain 17th-century panelling in the roof space, supported by a collar-truss roof.
