7, High Street

No 7 High Street is a shop with a house, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, and has been modified over time. It is constructed from local stone rubble with ashlar dressing and features a Welsh slate roof between coped gables, set behind a parapet at the front. The building has two storeys with an attic and a south elevation that consists of three bays, with a plinth, rusticated pilasters, and a bracketed cornice topped with a central pediment, all within an otherwise plain parapet. The shopfront, dating from the 1930s, is made of black glass and bronze framing with central recessed glazed doors. Above the shopfront are four-pane sash windows set in heeled and shouldered architraves, with the outer bays doubled. A circular window is located in the pediment, and there are pitched roof dormer windows behind the parapet. This facade may have been designed by Nathaniel Ireson.

To the right is a 20th-century shop extension that is not included in the listing. The rear of the building has a double-glazed elevation featuring a curved central projection with a flat roof for the staircase. There is a 19th-century ground floor window and a first-floor bay window, along with a sash window in an architrave with a triple keystone in the first-floor bay 1. The attic gables have two-light ovolo-moulded mullioned windows under labels. A part-glazed door leads into a panelled recess for the stairwell, which has an early 19th-century style flat-roofed porch. Above the porch is a semi-circular headed window with a rusticated architrave, and the coping is moulded with a bust set in the center. The interior was not seen, but most of the ground floor has been significantly altered. The 1929 Ordnance Survey map identifies this building as the Rectory. The previous owners of the shop were founders of the local Roman Catholic community and had been in business for many years.
