Description
39 High Street Inferior is a three-storey building with an attic, featuring ornately stuccoed fronts that display mannerist details on both the east and west sides. The west front includes two pedimented dormers and stuccoed panelling at the eaves above the second-floor windows. It has moulded stringcourses and a rusticated first floor. The building has sash windows with horns; on both the first and second floors, there are two windows with stuccoed architraves, and the first-floor windows have aprons. There is an oval lunette on the right side of the second floor. The ground floor showcases panelled pilasters and a cornice, with a wide segmental-headed window on the left, a round-headed doorway in the middle with the date '1891' above it, and a small round-headed window on the right. The east elevation mirrors the west, with similar first and second floors but without the lunette. The ground floor features panelled pilasters and a cornice that highlight three camber-headed windows, and on the right, there is a square-headed doorway with an oval overlight.
