Description
No 3 High Street is an 18th-century house with a shop, constructed of painted ashlar stone. It features a concrete double Roman tile roof set behind a parapet and has brick chimney stacks at both ends. The building stands two storeys high and consists of seven bays. It has a plinth, rusticated quoins, a cornice, and a shallow parapet. The central door, which is of an early 19th-century design, has a half-round cast iron fanlight above it, set within a sub-arch flanked by attached Doric columns on fielded panelled plinths, topped with an entablature and pediment.
To the left, in bay 1, there is a 12-pane shop window with a cast iron mullion, accompanied by a semi-circular arched doorway to the right. In bay 3, there are double 16-pane sash windows with plain surrounds, and a mullion between them. Both lower windows are adorned with long moulded hoods on console brackets, which also have flanking console brackets to the cornice, and plaster swags above each window. There are lead rainwater stackheads on either side of the building. The interior has not been seen.
In the early 18th century, this house was known as the "Ropers Tenement," but by 1799, it became the residence of John Dampier, who likely built Colinshayes in Brewham Parish in 1815.
