Description
2 High Street is a two-storey building constructed of painted brick with a red plain tiled roof, featuring some visible timber framing on the rear elevation. Each house has a two-unit plan with a central entrance. Number 3 is dated 1741 on the stone key of its left-hand window, which, along with the upper floor windows, has steeply arched cambered brick heads. The central door has been renewed, and a bay window has been added to its right. Number 2 is also dated 1741 on a keystone, with paired doors in the center, flanked by a shallow bay window, which may have formerly served as a shop window, to the left, and a 16-pane sash window with a moulded keystone in a flat-arched brick head. The building features wood mullioned and transomed windows of two and three lights with cambered brick heads above. Number 1 has been refenestrated and has a renewed doorway to the left. The row displays a dentilled eaves band throughout, end wall stacks, and coped gables at either end.
