Description
The Crooked Window, located at No 7 on Dunster High Street, is probably an 18th-century building that has undergone later alterations. It features a pantile roof and is rendered with mock half-timbering on the first floor. The building has two storeys and includes two sash windows with glazing bars and exposed frames. On the ground floor, there are two fixed-light square bays with a small panelled half-glazed door situated between them, along with a plain recessed door to the right. A slated pent roof covers the doors and bays.
