Description
66 High Street is one of a terrace of six houses, built in 1887. The house is constructed of ham stone that is cut and squared, with ashlar dressings. It features plain clay tiles with moulded ridges between coped gables and has a brick chimney stack. The building is two storeys high and has two bays, with the right bay projecting.
The windows are chamfered mullioned, with modern leaded casements; there are two lights below and three above in the gabled bay, which also has a stepped hood course, a gable vent, and a fleur-de-lys finial on the coping. In the first bay, there is a 4-centre moulded arched doorway with matching small sidelights above a panel of fish-scale tiles that contains a 20th-century casement.
This terrace is remarkably well detailed and exhibits a deliberate 'spoiled symmetry', reflecting the style of Norman Shaw and foreshadowing the early 'Garden City' houses. It is an early and little changed example of its kind.
