This is a small terrace of two buildings, dating from the 17th or 18th century, and which has been altered over time. The construction is a timber frame with rough cast render, and the upper part of the wall is covered in fish-scale tiles. It has an old clay tile roof. The building is one storey high with attics, and features four gabled dormers, each with a two-light casement window with glazing bars. On the ground floor are four 19th-century sash windows, also with glazing bars.
