Description

No 3 High Street is a 17th-century building with an early 18th-century gabled addition on the right, creating an L-shaped plan. The older section features a timber frame with colour washed brick nogging, while the later part is constructed of colour washed brick. The building has two storeys and includes two modern two-light casement windows with wooden mullions, as well as one flat arched casement window in the right wing and a dummy window in the attic. The left side of the ground floor has an early 19th-century splayed bay window with a reconstructed cornice. There is a door located in the corner of the L, which has a 19th-century Welsh slate hood. The right side features first and second floor bands similar to those on No 2. This building is part of a group that includes adjoining outbuildings, Nos 2 to 5, Nos 7 to 9, The Swan Public House, West Wycombe Branch County Library, Nos 10 to 13, No 15, Black Boy Cottage, The George and Dragon Inn, and Nos 16 to 23.
