Description
38 High Street is a 3-storey building with a 4-window stucco front, featuring a panelled attic and a cellar opening on the left. The right-hand windows on the first and second floors have been blocked. The front of the building slightly splays back to the left. It has a slate roof, red brick chimney stacks, and bracket eaves, along with 12-pane sash windows.
On the ground floor, there is a 16-pane sash window on the left, which may have been a former shop window, accompanied by a wooden entablature that extends to the right over a doorway. This doorway features a Doric porch with cast iron columns and a 6-panel door with a traceried panelled fanlight. The entablature might have originally extended to the right over an earlier shop front, which has since been replaced with a later 19th-century example that includes a broad window and pilasters, topped with swept coping to the cornice.
At the rear, there is a rubble cross range with a modern extension. The building has an altered plan form, featuring a narrow full-height stairwell on the right. There is also an attached former kitchen range at the rear that has an open roof.
