Description
41 High Street is a pair of houses, now functioning as a shop and restaurant, built as part of a longer terrace that includes Nos 43-44. They were likely constructed in the mid-18th century but have undergone significant alterations due to changing uses. The property was owned by the Kynaston family, and title deeds from 1747 refer to it as a 'messuage, dwelling house or inn ... lately rebuilt'.
The exterior features two storeys with an attic and a five-window range. The building is made of brick with a slate roof; No 41 has painted brickwork, while No 42 is rendered with mock-timber cladding. There is a stack on the right-hand gable and another towards the rear of No 41. Originally, both houses had paired central doorways with architraves and entablature hoods, along with lattice-glazed overlights above panelled doors. One of these doorways remains, although it is blocked. The ground floor now has modern shop fronts on either side. No 41 retains two 12-pane sash windows with flat arched heads, while No 42 previously had similar windows that are now 2-pane sashes. The building features a modillion eaves cornice and hipped dormers in the roof that have 6-pane sash windows. Additionally, No 41 has a short rear wing made of rubble, which was extended in the early 19th century by a rubble and brick warehouse range.
Despite 20th-century alterations, these 18th-century townhouses retain some early details and contribute to the character of the group.
