Architectural and Artistic Interest

Detached one and a half storey building, similar in design to 4 Upper Street and constructed by the same developer. Buildings date from the early C20. Situated slightly back within its plot but above the height of the road. The building sits beneath a gabled roof, laid in clay tiles. Central brick chimney stack and centrally positioned gabled dormer breaking the eaves line. At no. 14, the apex of the dormer has been infilled with later applied timber boards. No. 14 is rendered and painted, but unlike no. 4 there is no applied timber framing to first floor. Two windows positioned centrally within the dormer and two flush three light casements to first floor. Small single storey flat roofed garage and entrance extension to right hand (facing) gable. Despite being set back from the carriageway, this building is visually prominent, due to its elevated position, its rendered and principle elevation and its central window and dormer. Despite later alterations the building retains its original form, scale, massing and much of its character and is a visually attractive example of an early C20 building within the village.
