Description
No. 25 High Street is a shop with a house above, which was formerly a public house, and has a warehouse at the rear. It dates from around 1840 and is constructed of Doulting stone ashlar, topped with a hipped Welsh slate roof behind a tall parapet.
The building is three storeys high and consists of a single bay. The ground floor features a 20th-century shop front with a door set in a deep recess to the right, flanked by incised pilaster strips and a partly concealed cornice above a very slim fascia. On the first floor, there is a 16-pane sash window with a simple architrave and a moulded flat hood supported by console brackets. The second floor has a smaller 16-pane sash window set in plain ashlar, with end pilaster strips that have incised line decoration, along with a cornice and a plain parapet.
Inside, the ground floor has been modified for use as a shop. There is a 19th-century top-lit staircase leading to the house above, featuring turned newels, stick balusters, and a deal handrail, although the section from the ground to the first floor has been removed.
At the rear, No. 53 South Street is a two-storey warehouse from the 19th century, featuring a King-post roof covered with slate, and built on stone rubble with partially rendered walls. Beneath the shop, house, and warehouse are early 19th-century bonded cellars with brick vaults and remaining stone bins.
