Description
Nos. 1 and 3 East Street are a pair of shops built in 1899. They are constructed from cut and squared ham stone with ashlar dressings and feature Bridgwater patent Roman style clay tiles between stepped coped gables. The buildings have brick end chimney stacks, with the northern stack rising to a semi-circular gable height corbel.
The shops are two storeys high and consist of three bays. There is a rusticated band course, and the original shopfronts include stone risers and pilasters framing the windows and doorway of No. 1, topped with a moulded cornice-type fascia. The display windows are three-light and slightly angled as bays, with cast iron ventilation grills at the top. No. 1 has two sets of windows with a central doorway and a fanlight above, while No. 3 has one window and a six-panelled door on the right, set in a plain surround with a flat stone hood on stone corbels. Above the shopfronts, there are double sash windows in plain ashlar surrounds.
On the northern side, there is a gable featuring a matching shop window and a segmented arched wagon door, with a datestone from 1899 set higher. There is also a single double sash window. The north-west corner is rounded, leading to an extension eastward along High Street, which dates from the 18th century and is built from local stone rubble with a slate roof. This extension includes a further matching shop window and a small signboard above, along with a small early casement window with leaded lights on the first floor. The buildings are listed mainly for their original shopfronts and their significance to the street scene in the centre of the village.
