Description
Nos 48 and 49 on High Street in West Wycombe are two former cottages dating from the 18th century. They feature a cement rendered plinth and are constructed from red and grey bricks, topped with an old tiled roof that has a brick modillion cornice. The buildings are two storeys high and have three flush set three-light casement windows. The ground floor windows are adorned with cambered relieving arches. To the left of the central door, which was originally a pair of doors, there is a hood with moulded brackets. The right-hand door has a cut bracketed hood, and a small casement window now replaces the central door. These cottages are part of a group that includes Nos 35 to 37, The Church Loft, Nos 45 to 54, Nos 56 to 59, Steps House, The Plough Inn, The Apple Orchard, The Old Smithy, West Wycombe Estate Office, Rose Cottage, and Ness Cottage.
