Description
39 High Street is a shop and house built in an enriched late Victorian classical style. It has three storeys with an attic, featuring a single bay facing High Street and two bays on Pepper Lane. The building is constructed with roughcast walls and has a hipped slate roof with projecting bracketed eaves, along with roughcast stacks on the left side and at the rear.
The shop front extends across both elevations and includes a splayed corner entrance. Panelled pilasters support fluted consoles that hold up the fascia, which is topped by a deep bracketed cornice that projects outward at the corner above the doorway. The doorway features a half-lit panelled door with a raised field and an overlight. The shop windows, which have been replaced, are two-light windows positioned above brick stall boards.
On the High Street side, the upper storeys are adorned with sill bands and rusticated quoin strips. The windows are four-pane horned sashes set within ornate architraves, which are complemented by panelled pilasters and cornices that include a dentil frieze on consoles. A round-headed half-dormer features a four-pane horned sash window. The Pepper Lane elevation has four-pane horned sash windows in simpler keyed, eared, and lugged architraves. There is a blocked doorway on the lower right with a doorcase that resembles the architraves on the High Street side.
