House. C17 or early C18. Brick with coursed squared limestone to ground floor of front; tile roof with coped left gable and right brick end stack. Single storey with attic; 2-window range. Windows to ground floor have C20 small-paned casements; 1st floor has signs of 2 blocked openings and a hipped dormer with small-paned cross-casement, skylight to right. Right end of ground floor has timber lintel over later stone infill indicating former cart entrance; stonework to left end has coping and is continued as garden wall in snecked stone with added brick courses. Left return has ogee-headed 1st-floor window with C20 small-paned casement under tympanum; gable originally with stone pinnacles, probably from the medieval college building on the site. Rear has later gabled timber porch and 2 dormers. The building is believed to have been an outbuilding to the College, used by the medieval priests of the collegiate church of Holy Trinity and demolished in 1799, the stone ground floor being part of the boundary wall. The surrounding area was developed in the early C19 as an area of good quality housing.
