7, High Street North

No. 7 High Street North is a house that was formerly a pair of cottages, dating from the 17th century and altered over time. The building features a timber frame with brick infill, with the left side being roughcast and a rendered plinth. It has a thatched roof with a half-hip at the front over the left bay. There are brick chimneys on the right and an external chimney at the front of the left bay. The structure is L-shaped, with one and a half storeys and three bays, plus an additional half bay to the right. The left bay has been almost entirely rebuilt in the early 19th century using red and vitreous brick. The half bay includes a 19th to 20th-century canted bay window with barred wooden casements. The other windows are leaded casements, with a three-light window in the left bay and on the ground floor, and a two-light window on the first floor under the thatch. There are two windows to the right with arched heads, and the lower left-hand window has a segmental head. The building has two boarded doors and a blocked doorway in the left bay. There is a 20th-century garage extension to the right. The range to the left has a large chimney made of thin brick at the far gable. This part of the building is one storey with an attic, consisting of two bays and a lobby entry, featuring three-light casements, with leaded glass on the ground floor to the right and wooden windows elsewhere, including those in gabled dormers on the first floor.
