72, High Street

This is a house in a row, dating to the late 15th or early 16th century, with later alterations. It includes a shop and has a rear wing to the right. The construction is stone rubble with a pantile gable-ended roof and a brick gable-end stack.

The exterior presents a three-story, two-bay front. The first floor has nine-pane sash windows with timber lintels, stone sills, and brick jambs, suggesting the openings have been widened. The ground floor now has a late 20th-century shop front. The rear wing is of stone rubble and has a steeply pitched pantile roof. A staircase corbels out in the angle, supported by a large stone corbel. In the rear wall of the main range, there's a blocked four-centred arch doorway. The rear wing features a 19th-century multi-pane shop window and plank door, set in a chamfered stone opening with a hoodmould.

Inside, the ground floor of the front range is ceiled. A ground floor room of the rear wing contains a framed ceiling with moulded intersecting beams divided into one compartment, originally two. There's a stone fireplace with a cambered stone arch and relieving arch above, a stone doorway with a hollow-chamfered frame and Tudor arch, and a wide Tudor arch with a hollow chamfer. A stone newel stair is located to the left, with chamfered Tudor arch doorways at the bottom and top. Above the shop window is a chamber with a chamfered Tudor arch doorway and a two-bay roof with chamfered arch-braced collar truss and threaded purlins, the common-rafters having been replaced. The roof structure of the front range was not inspected.
