17 High Street

17 High Street is a large commercial building constructed with painted stucco and slate roofs behind parapets. It features three brick chimneys and stands four storeys tall with a five-bay front, where each bay contains two plate glass sash windows. The façade is adorned with three superimposed orders of pilasters on the ground floor, the middle two floors, and the top floor, each topped with a heavy cornice that projects over the pilasters. The pilasters on the main floors display zig-zag and roundel decorations, while a minor order of pilasters is present at each level, separated by a moulded band. The central pier is slightly wider and has an additional applied pilaster. The top floor maintains similar detailing, although some mouldings have been removed in the left two bays.

The ground floor features a three-bay shopfront on either side of a tall throughway. It has a heavy cornice with fluted modillions and is framed by four thicker pilasters around the throughway and shopfronts, along with two smaller pilasters framing the shop door of each shop, all raised on a plinth of painted tolled grey limestone. The shop windows are made of plate glass with curved upper corners, and the recessed doors have tall overlights. The throughway contains a pair of large boarded doors with a cambered head.

Access through the throughway leads to a narrow rear court, which is flanked on both sides by tall four-storey ranges built of rubble stone. These ranges feature 12-pane sash windows in brick surrounds and loading doors in the outermost bay on each side. The ground floors of these ranges have been significantly altered. Above the throughway, there is a one-window range of similar windows, which has a metal lintel. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
