Description

Possible eighteenth or nineteenth century houses in High Street, with attached shop Two storey buildings with attached shop to left hand facing. Buildings sit beneath a steeply pitched gabled roof laid in tile. The steep pitch of the roof may indicate that it was originally thatched. The building is brick fronted with a mixture of red and vitrified bricks creating an attractive visual contrast. Some alteration to the fenestration pattern and replacement of original windows, but in terms of the form, massing and proportions of the buildings, they complement their historic neighbours. The buildings are also visually prominent within the street scene and play an important role in maintaining the strong building line and creating a sense of containment. Local note buildings within the conservation area of Ivinghoe (B1).
