Description
No. 103 High Street is a house dating from the 16th century, with a front added in the mid-18th century. It has a timber frame with a stuccoed front set on a plinth. The building features rusticated quoins and a coped parapet above a plain tiled roof, which has a red brick chimney behind the ridge to the right and two gabled dormers. The house is two storeys tall with attics and has a regular four-window front, featuring glazing bar sashes in open boxes. The entrance includes a six-panel door with a flat hood supported by brackets and a shallow transom light above. The rear elevation is tile-hung and has a long two-storey wing, likely from the 16th century.
Inside, the rear wing is timber-framed and shows evidence of heavy scantling timbers. The ground-floor fireplace has a bressumer with crude acanthus decoration in the spandrels and a moulded lintel. The staircase, dating from around 1730 to 1740, is small and features a square open-well design with a ramped rail and a column on vase balusters with square knops. The front room on the ground floor has early 17th-century panelling, which has been painted over later. It also features an eared and egg-and-dart decorated fire surround with a marble staff-moulded inset and a Greek-key frieze on the cornice-mantel, which is very similar to the fireplace found in School Hill House.
