Building record 1400300000 - 77 High Street North, Stewkley

Early 19th century house; a Local Building of Note within the Conservation Area of Stewkley. The straight section of High Street North between Nos. 77 and 136 is set on a ridge of higher ground with glimpsed views of countryside to either side. The land gently falls to the south-east where there is a green verge with trees that constrain views and provide enclosure. This part of the High Street is a transition between the relatively scattered pattern of development that lies on the periphery of the village and the more tightly built form to the south. Nodes of earlier buildings are visually prominent at Nos. 77, 110 and 112 High Street North. The earlier buildings are more assertively located than more recent development. This helps reduce the impact of modern infill and maintains the vernacular appearance of the identity area of North End (B1).
