Description
44 High Street is a rendered single-storey building with an attic, presenting an early 20th-century appearance but constructed from 17th-century materials. It features a very large, steeply pitched slate roof with an undulating ridge and overhanging boarded eaves. There are two rubble end chimney stacks, one of which has been heightened in brick, and two swept roof dormers with casement windows. The ground floor has triple arched heads to the outer windows, which flank a central splayed bay with ogee-headed lights; all these windows are set in square recesses and were not present in a view from 1898. At the rear, there is a recessed boarded door and a lean-to extension.
Inside, the building retains two fine late medieval fireplaces, likely removed from the nearby castle, located at each end of the full-length ground floor room. One fireplace features a large stone lintel, while the other has a four-centred arch with a chamfered timber lintel. The interior also includes feather stop chamfered beams and boarded doors, as well as a reset piece of post and panel partition with fleur de lys moulding. The roof structure consists of a four-bay collar rafter design with dowelled timbers, mostly original.
