1, High Street

No. 1 High Street is a house located at the end of a row of buildings, dating from the early 18th century. It features Flemish bond brickwork and a tiled roof. This tall, narrow-fronted house has an impressive brick facade, with the main body of the building angled to follow the burgage plot line and extending to Tolzey Lane. The house has three storeys and three closely spaced windows, which are 12-pane sashes set in a central bay with segmental heads. These windows are adorned with rubbed brick voussoirs and decorative keystones, all resting on moulded stone cills.

The ground floor has a full-width 20th-century shop front. Above the stone modillion cornice, there is a large blind lunette framed by a moulded architrave, situated within a shaped parapet that features moulded stone coping. The double roof, which has a central valley, is hipped at both ends. Centrally positioned above the ground floor is a clock that is cantilevered on an ornate wrought-iron bracket, which was presented by Mayor MC Smart in 1883.

To the left, the moulded parapet extends for approximately 4 meters over a plain brick wall, which includes a large 4-pane casement window at the ground floor. Beyond this section, there is a slightly curved part of the building that rises three storeys to the eaves. This section has two 12-pane sashes on the second floor, and on the first floor, there is one sash along with two smaller lights to the left. The ground floor features a larger 12-pane sash with a segmental head, a small square opening above a blocked doorway, and a 20th-century door beneath a large margin-pane transom light with two additional 20th-century lights.

The rear of the building has three storeys and two windows, all featuring 12-pane sashes with voussoirs, fluted keystones, and stone cills. The ground floor has a wide opening with a segmental head leading to a plank door. The interior has not been inspected, but a photograph from around 1900 in the Museum shows an oculus with glazing bars and three urns on the parapet.
