127, High Street

No. 127 High Street is a house with a shop that features an early 19th-century front but incorporates fabric from the 17th or 18th century. The front is rendered over Flemish bond brickwork and has a tiled roof with a brick stack. The building has a parapeted front that overlooks Old Post Office Alley on the right, concealing a steeply pitched hipped roof in the front block, which is also parapeted at the rear. There is a lower wing that leads to a large, broad gable stack. The structure has three storeys and a basement, with two windows on the front. The windows are four-pane sashes, with the first-floor windows being particularly tall and set on stone cills. A wide 20th-century display window is framed by channelled pilasters, with a set-back doorway to the left and a throughway to the right. The building features a plain frieze and a moulded cornice below a plain blocking course that is slightly raised and brought forward in the middle section. There is a large stack to the right, and the throughway includes a section of brick barrel vault approximately 2 meters from the front. The interior has not been inspected.
