Description
No 17 High Street is a shop with an attached house, primarily dating from the 18th century. It is constructed from local stone that has been cut and roughly squared, topped with a hipped plain clay tile roof that abuts No 15. A brick chimney stack is present. The building stands two storeys high with an attic and consists of a single bay.
The façade features a rusticated rounded corner pilaster and a 19th-century shop front that spans the entire ground floor. This shop front includes deep windows on either side of a recessed glazed door, which is topped by a fanlight. The window frames have slim moulded jambs, and there are panelled pilasters, a slim fascia, and a moulded hood supported by small corbel brackets at each end. Above the shop front, there is a 12-pane sash window set in an architraved surround with a triple keystone.
On the east side, which returns to No 19, there is a 12-pane casement window below and a 12-pane sash window above, the latter framed in a plain architrave. Additionally, there is a dormer window featuring a wooden pediment and a pitched roof. The interior has not been seen.
