Description

No. 16 High Street is a house that dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with its front remodelled in the early to mid-19th century. It has undergone various alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a two-unit plan, is two storeys tall with an attic, and has a three-window range. The exterior is constructed of ironstone ashlar with a slate roof and brick end stacks.

The central entrance consists of a six-panel door with an overlight and a segmental arched stone lintel. The ground and first floors are fitted with 16-pane sash windows, each with similar lintels. Notable architectural details include a chamfered plinth, raised quoins, a storey band, and stone-coped gables with kneelers. The right gable end has small blocked first-floor windows that feature moulded stone sills, surrounds, and hood moulds, as well as a similar window in the gable.

At the rear, there are two 2-light ovolo-moulded stone mullion windows on the ground and first floors, both with hood moulds, alongside a 20th-century two-storey brick extension on the right. To the left, there is a lower two-storey attached former cottage from the 17th century, which has also been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries and is now part of the living accommodation. This section is built of coursed squared ironstone with a slate roof, featuring a pair of 20th-century 2-light casement windows on the ground floor and a 3-light casement on the first floor with a wooden lintel. The gable is stone-coped with kneelers.

Inside, the house includes chamfered spine beams and an open fireplace with a stop-chamfered bressumer, as well as a fitted 18th-century bureau in a niche to the right. The former cottage has a stone fireplace with a Tudor-arched head.
