Description
This is a late 17th-century house, originally symmetrical with two bays, and incorporating an earlier 16th-century cross wing with an oak frame and plastered walls. The front has a four-window arrangement of double-hung sash windows. The roof is tiled, with a small hipped gable at the west end. A small shopfront is present. Internally, elements of a 16th-century crown post roof remain, and one 17th-century creased door survives.
