Description

No 18 on High Street is a building from the 18th century or early 19th century, featuring a front made of colour-washed brick that conceals an earlier timber-framed structure beneath. The building has an old tiled roof and stands two storeys tall. On the ground floor, there is a right-hand 19th-century double-hung sash window, a left-hand canted bay window, and a four-panel door, all topped with a continuous frieze and cornice that creates a hood over the doorway. The first floor has a three-light flush wood mullion lattice casement window. A projecting chimney stack is located centrally on the right side. The east gable reveals exposed timber framework with red brick nogging. To the left, there is a single-storey outshut with an old tiled roof. This building is part of a group that includes several nearby structures such as Nos 2 to 5, Nos 7 to 9, The Swan Public House, West Wycombe Branch County Library, and others.
