Description
Nineteenth century house, formerly used as a shop and now in use as a restaurant
To the south-west of the vehicular entrance to Cornwalls Meadow is a row of historic properties
stretching in a virtually unbroken line to the former Post Office. Situated hard up to the back edge of the pavement this assortment of two to three storey buildings range in date from the late 15th to early 16th centuries, through the 17th to the 18th century and 18th to 19th centuryth centuries. A number of the buildings are constructed of timber-frame which is hidden beneath render. Others are constructed of brick generally laid in a Flemish bond, some of which are rendered and painted. The roofs of this terrace of buildings are gabled and ridgelines run parallel with the street. The majority of the roofs are
covered in plain clay tiles although nos. 7 and 9 High Street are laid in natural slate. Ridgelines are punctuated by brick ridge stacks. First and second floor fenestration generally consists of regularly positioned wooden sash windows which vary in proportion from building to building. However the ground floor fenestration pattern of many of these properties has been disturbed by the insertion of shop fronts, several of which date from the 19th century. 9 High Street is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Buckingham (B1).
