History

Early C19 house originally known as Raglan House, by the late C19 developed into a shop, called the Old Shop, advertised on an outbuilding behind No 3 High Street as flour, corn, seed, beer and porter stores. Renovated, the front ground floor made into single shop and the rear converted to flats in late C20 when the Post Office moved here from Castle Street.

Exterior

Two-storey, 4 window range of 12-pane hornless sash windows to front, the ground floor left 2 bays replaced by the C20 shopfront. The rear range is slightly shorter, the recessed W end with original arched main doorway. Reeded jambs and arch, panelled reveals and soffit, traceried fanlight and 4-panel door with raised and fielded panels. Renewed 16-pane sash over and C20 small window left. Rear has 3-window range of renewed 16-pane sashes over centre 16-pane sash and outer 4-12-4-pane tripartite sashes.

Interior
