40 And 42, High Street

Nos 40 and 42, High Street

Two cottages dating from the late 17th century, altered in the 20th century. They are constructed of coursed squared limestone. No 40 has a thatched roof, while No 42 has a 20th-century ridged tile roof. Both have brick ridge and end stacks.

The buildings follow a two-unit plan and rise to two storeys with a three-window range across the front.

No 40 features a 20th-century four-light casement window to the left, a small one-light window to the right of centre, and a 20th-century casement to the right, all with wood lintels. The first-floor windows are three-light casements set within eyebrow dormers. A 20th-century porch is positioned at the right end.

No 42 has a pair of small one-light windows to the left and right of centre on the ground floor, with two-light casement windows to the left and right, also with wood lintels. The entrance is at the rear, and a dormer window is positioned to the right of centre.

Internally, No 40 contains an ogee-stop-chamfered spine beam and an open fireplace with a stop-chamfered cambered bressumer.
