Description
8 High Street is a three-storey building with lined-out render over brick and a slate roof, featuring gable end brick stacks. The façade has a three-window range and two shop fronts on the ground floor, positioned on either side of a doorway leading to a passage. Number 9 retains an early 19th-century shop front, characterized by a central entrance and flanking windows that are accented by panelled pilasters with heavy console brackets supporting an interrupted fascia. The upper windows were originally 12-pane sashes, although some glazing bars have been removed. The building has a simply moulded eaves cornice.
Inside, number 9 preserves elements of the early 19th-century shop, including a plaster dentilled cornice on the ceiling and a Palladian archway along the back wall. This archway likely once formed part of a display wall but now serves as a division in the opened-out floor space.
