22, High Street

This is a house with a shop, now a shop with a flat above, dating largely from the 19th century, though it may incorporate an 18th-century structure. The building is constructed of red brick with Bath stone dressings and has a hipped Welsh slate roof, with the ridge running at a right angle to the street, behind a rendered parapet. A brick chimney stack is also present. The layout is on a right-angle plan.

The exterior is three storeys high with two bays. The ground floor has been significantly altered with a later 20th-century shop front featuring ceramic tiling, including a recessed entrance on the left-hand side, and a deep fascia. The first floor has a single, wide, shallow-angled oriel window with three plain sash windows, under a flat roof. On the second floor are two plain sash windows set within simple architraves. There is a cornice and plain coping to the parapet.

The ground-floor interior has been heavily modified for the shop. However, the first floor retains some features, including chamfered ceiling beams and plaster cornices in the front rooms. The doors and partitioning are mainly from the 19th century, with some reshaping. The second-floor roof frame is a collar truss design, with two ranks of purlins, and appears to date back to the 18th century.
