Description
4 High Street is a two-storey building with a splayed street front, featuring two bays facing north-east and two bays facing south-east. It is constructed from polychromatic stone rubble, with Bath stone ashlar quoins and dressings. The eaves are supported by carved ashlar brackets, and the building has a Welsh slate roof with low-set chimney stacks on the rear slope topped with cylindrical terracotta pots.
On the first floor, there is a trefoil-headed window in each bay. The ground floor has pointed doorways and flat-headed windows. The left-hand bay of No. 4 includes a flat-headed window with a pointed doorway to its right. The right-hand bay features a 20th-century elliptically headed shop window, which is seven panes wide and has a roll-mould surround, along with a pointed stone doorway to its right. This shop window appears to be an alteration from the original design, as indicated by the single relieving arch above, suggesting that there was once a large single shop window. The rear elevation has not been seen. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey.
