Description
The Plestor is an early to mid-19th century house and shop located on the High Street in Selborne. The front facade is constructed of ashlar malstone, with rendering on the west side, which has lower windows. It features a plain slate roof. The front (south-east) elevation is two storeys high and has 12 upper windows. The windows are Victorian sash windows, with three lights on the west-side ground floor. The shop front has a Doric order consisting of four panelled pilasters, two windows with vertical bars, a central entrance with a fanlight, and double half-glazed doors. A two-storey and attic rear extension projects from the west side, with a gable facing the roadway. This extension has tile-hung upper walls and rendered lower walls, casement windows, and a ground-floor Victorian sash window.
