Statement of Significance
This shop and residence probably shares a similar date of construction to 358-6 High Street (qv) and, similarly, represents the early commercial development of the High Street which was overwhelmed during later periods of development in the 1880s and 1900-20. Hence it is of high local importance. Unlike 358-6 High Street, this shop is at the first commercial centre which was situated around Bastings' store and post office and the hotel opposite. However, also unlike 358-6 High Street, this shop has been altered.

245 High Street - Physical Description 1
The rendered facade has quoining at each end and a cornice surmounted by a plain parapet. The three double hung sash windows at south floor level had wide moulded architraves and bracketed sills. The original ground floor shopfront has been replaced and cantilevered awning constructed. Number 247 High Street, having been originally of a similar design to 245, has suffered much more from subsequent alterations. The current paint scheme on 245 is intrusive.
