136, High Street

No. 136 High Street is a house with a shop that features an 18th-century front built on 16th or 17th-century foundations. The building has Flemish bond brickwork, timber-framing, a tile roof, and brick stacks. The front range has a parapet that hides the roof and includes a throughway on the right side. It stands three storeys tall with two windows, featuring 12-pane sash windows that may have been reduced in depth on the first floor, set in painted brick voussoirs and stone cills. The 19th-century shop front includes a door with a transom light to the left and a similar doorway leading to the throughway on the right, all beneath a deep fascia with a moulded cornice. The building has a plain coped parapet and a stack on the right side. Inside the throughway, there are seven beams, a timber-framed wall, and remnants of a Tudor door-head about one meter from the front, which has enriched spandrels and a moulded timber cambered head, likely indicating an original wall beneath the jettied upper floors. The interior has not been inspected.
