Description
The building comprises Nos 3 to 11 (odd) and No 11a Sun Street, dating to the mid- to late 17th century. It is a two-storey structure with plastered exterior and an old clay tile roof. Nos 11 and 11a form a projecting wing to the right, distinguished by a heavy modillioned cornice and a hipped roof. The windows are a mix of sashes and modern casements, with four sashes in the projecting wing. The ground floor features a variety of sashes and paired three-panel doors, each with a rectangular fanlight set under a plain hood. Alongside these are simple 19th-century canted bays and doorways. The arrangement from left to right consists of two sashes, a paired door, a canted bay, a single doorway, another sash, a smaller canted bay paired with a doorway, and finally a sash to the right. The projecting gable echoes this arrangement with a combined bay and doorway to the left and a sash to the right.
