24 And 26, High Street

A pair of attached houses, dating from the mid-18th century, with number 24 rebuilt in the mid-19th century and subject to later alterations. Number 26 is constructed of coursed rubble with a triple-Roman tile roof, while number 24 is of random rubble with a double-Roman tile roof. Both properties share three brick ridge stacks. Originally designed as a symmetrical pair in a Classical style.

The houses are two storeys and have a 4:2 bay facade. The left-hand side features 12-pane sash windows set within bolection-moulded stone architraves, which have pulvinated friezes. The fourth bay on the first floor has a semi-circular arch head, an emphasised keystone, and impost blocks. The right-hand side has 16-pane sash windows in renewed stone surrounds, with a secondary wooden lintel above the ground-floor openings. A plain sill band runs along the first-floor windows of number 24, while a moulded string sits above the heads of the ground-floor windows of number 26. A door opening on the left has a bolection-moulded stone surround, containing a six-panelled door with the top two panels glazed. A moulded slab hood is supported by cut-stone brackets. The right-hand door opening has a plain stone surround, and contains a 20th-century half-glazed door.
