24 High Street

24 High Street is a 17th-century terrace that may have originally included four dwellings, with some timber framing still visible in parts of the row, although much of the exterior detail is more recent. Number 26 was originally two units but is now a single property.

The exterior features a rendered elevation facing the street, possibly covering a partial timber frame, which is exposed in the passageway between Nos 25 and 26. The building has a slate roof with a stone and brick axial stack on a short rear wing of No 25. The terrace consists of three houses, each with a single-unit plan, and is low at two storeys with an attic within the roof. Nos 24 and 25 have doorways to the left and canted oriel shop windows, which are recent additions. Above No 24 is a renewed casement window and a catslide dormer in the roof, while No 25 features a 16-pane sash window and an inserted gabled dormer. To the right, there is a round-arched passage entry. No 26 has a slightly wider frontage, with a doorway to the left and a large shop window inserted to the right. It also has two upper windows, both inserted casements, and two gabled dormers within the roof.

This property is included as part of an important group of townhouses on High Street and is notable for representing the survival of a small urban vernacular terrace from the 17th century.
