Description
No 38 on High Street is an early 19th-century refronting of a building that dates back to the 16th or 17th century. The exterior features painted rendering, an old tile roof, a parapet with coping, and a moulded cornice above a plain frieze. The building has two storeys and includes a 19th-century shop front with ornamental ironwork. On the left side, there is a rusticated elliptical carriage arch that leads to the Baptist Church. The front has three double-hung sash windows set within architraves.
At the rear, there is a two-storey wing made of red brick with tiles, featuring a six-panel flush door and three sash windows with reveals and cambered arches. The first floor has three similar windows, and there is one narrow sash window in the south return wall next to the warehouse. Additionally, there is a three-light box dormer in the rear of the main roof above the carriage arch.
