Description
Blenheim, at numbers 26 and 28 Dunster High Street, is a pair of houses dating to 1825, though significantly altered in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The houses have rough-cast render, modern plain tiles to the eaves, and restored brick stacks. The building is two storeys high and features two windows per house. These windows are modern wooden casements, with cambered heads to the upper openings. The front features plain doors on both the left and right sides, with later tiled pentice hoods extending over the ground-floor windows and doors. The building is included on the list for its contribution to the group value of the surrounding buildings.
