8, High Street

The building at 8 High Street, originally dating to circa 1719, comprises three storeys and features three windows on the first floor. There is a slightly recessed, pent-roofed addition on the west side. The roof is hipped and covered with Welsh slate, with a modillion eaves cornice. The front façade is timber-framed and plastered, with a moulded bressumer to the jettied first floor. It shares a masonry party wall with a plastered finish that matches the front, and includes moulded corbels at the first-floor level. The windows are architraved sashes with glazing bars; those on the first floor are set within a seven-bay panelled screen with wrought iron window guards. The ground floor has paired sash windows. A round-arched doorway is topped with a console bracketed cornice and houses a raised and fielded panel door. Internally, there are two original 18th-century open staircases, one located within the extension, all featuring closed strings, turned balusters, square newels, and moulded handrails. Ground floor rear rooms and first-floor rooms retain original plaster cornices and ceilings with ogee-moulded ribwork. A ground floor passage has a panelled dado, alongside original panelled doors and cupboards. Original 18th and 19th-century chimneypieces are also present.
