Description
Nos. 36 and 38 High Street are two buildings from the 18th century, featuring painted stucco exteriors, slate roofs, and brick end stacks. No. 36 is three storeys tall with three bays, while No. 38 is two storeys with two bays. The upper windows of No. 38 align with the first-floor windows of No. 36. Both buildings have matching fine Ionic doorcases and renewed bracketed cornices. The windows are fitted with renewed hornless 12-pane sashes across all three floors of No. 36 and on the upper floor of No. 38, which also features a ground floor 4-12-4-pane tripartite sash to the right of centre.
No. 36 has its door in the left bay, while No. 38's door is also in the left bay but aligned with the window above. Both buildings have elliptical arched doorways with radiating-bar fanlights, recessed in timber pedimented doorcases that include Ionic half columns, entablature blocks, and open pediments with modillions. The doors are six-panel designs, with the top four panels originally fielded and the bottom two panels flush.
The rear walls have been rebuilt since 1974, when there was a range of rubble outbuildings behind No. 36, and a tall slate-hung building behind No. 38. The rear of No. 38 now has a roughcast wall, a tripartite ground floor sash, and two 12-pane sashes above. The rear of No. 36 features a tall rear wing to the right and a new 12-pane sash on each floor to the left. A lower three-storey wing extends east from the north end of the rear wing.
The interiors have been completely altered, with the ground floors joined and a wholly modern staircase in the rear wing of No. 36. The cellars were not seen but are said to include a broad segmental pointed stone vaulted cellar under No. 36.
