Description
No. 6 Upper High Street is a two-storey house built in the mid-19th century. It features roughcast walls facing south towards Vivary Park and has a patterned tile roof with two gables that rise through the eaves, adorned with fretted bargeboards. The house has three windows, plus an additional window in a lower extension to the right. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, and there are Gothic heads to the casements in the left corner. There is a small extension to the left of the main structure.
