The two-storey street facade has a passage doorway to the right with a plank door. To the left are two three-light cross casement windows, followed by a slightly smaller three-light casement, and then a panel door. Above are three three-light casements and a single plank loft door. It was previously listed as The Old Bakehouse and Cottage, adjoining a building next but one to Offord’s Shop.
