Description

38-40 High Street is a Georgian house that features a later shop front. The building has roughcast walls, a renewed slate roof, and a roughcast stack on the right side. The lower storey includes a late 20th-century shop front designed in a late 19th-century style. In the upper storey, there are 12-pane hornless sash windows with moulded surrounds. The attic contains three smaller 12-pane sash windows set in large gabled dormers that have plain barge boards. A moulded eaves cornice runs across the dormers, and there is a dated cast iron rainwater head on the right side.

At the rear, there is a central stair projection that features an original wood-mullioned cross window on the lower landing and a replaced window on the upper landing. The lower storey has been converted into open shop space with temporary partitions. Two chamfered cross beams remain, supported by cast iron posts. A full-height dog-leg stair dating from around 1700 has turned balusters and square newels. The roof has four and a half bays with pegged collar beams, and the stair projection has a similar truss.
