Description
Tuckers and Carysports is a large 18th-century house with two shops located on the north side of High Street in Castle Cary. The building is constructed from Cary stone that is cut and squared, featuring painted ashlar dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof with stepped coped gables and brick chimney stacks at each end. The structure stands three storeys high and consists of six bays.
The ground floor showcases an early 20th-century projecting flat-roofed shopfront with recessed central doors, covering the first two bays. The later 19th-century ashlar stone shopfront over the fourth, fifth, and sixth bays includes rusticated stone stall risers and segmental-arched basement vents with cast iron grilles. The shopfront features a cill-mould and two-light semi-circular arched shop windows flanked by pilasters that have base and impost moulds, as well as a cornice. There is a matching shop doorway in the center, accessed by three steps. The lower bay three has a 20th-century six-panel door, raised four steps, set within a very tall surround of Tuscan attached columns on plinths, which support a full entablature adorned with triglyphs and metopes, topped with a dentilled pediment. The interiors have not been seen.
