6, High Street

This building on High Street, Shepton Mallet, is a pair of shops dating to around 1800. It is constructed of Doulting ashlar stone with a slate roof and a moulded cornice topped by a moulded coping to the parapet. The architectural style is Classical. The building is three storeys high and two bays wide, featuring sash windows with glazing bars set within reveals and end pilasters. The ground floor contains two shopfronts inserted in the late 20th century. These are separated by a small, mid-19th century panelled pilaster, with a further pilaster situated on each side, and that supports the moulded cornice over the shopfronts.
