Description

1A High Street is a 17th-century building with a rendered, part scribed, six-window front featuring broad end pilaster strips and a band course that connects Nos 1 and 1a. It has a tall hipped slate roof with a central brick chimney stack at the ridge and coved cornice eaves. The building includes four pitched roof slate-hung dormers with modern windows. The first floor has Georgian 12-pane sash windows, while the ground floor has been altered with modern shop fronts and doors. The left end features a console bracketed hood with a panelled soffit. The steep gabled brick rear elevation has extensions and a lean-to outshot, retaining small-pane sash windows for Nos 1 and 1a, while No 1b has modern windows.

Inside No 1, the largely original roof trusses are visible, along with an 18th-century staircase that has turned balusters and a swept-up handrail with a wave profile. The interior also includes panelled doors and a fireplace in the basement at the rear, which has a stopped chamfered lintel.
