Description
62 High Street is part of a terrace of six houses, built in 1887. The building is constructed from cut and squared ham stone, featuring ashlar dressings. It has a plain clay tile roof with moulded ridges between coped gables and brick chimney stacks. The house is two stories tall, with one projecting gabled bay and a return that includes a 20th-century porch.
On the front, there is a three-light mullioned window separated by a string course; the upper window has a label, and the gable features a ventilation block and an obelisk finial, with decorative putlog holes. The return over the porch has tile hanging. The east gable displays three varied windows with chamfered surrounds, including one with a four-centre arch. A datestone from 1887 is located in this gable, beneath an ogee label.
This terrace is noted for its remarkable detailing and intentional 'spoiled symmetry,' reflecting the style of Norman Shaw and foreshadowing the early 'Garden City' houses. It is an early example that has seen little change over time.
