EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; cross-wing has scalloped barge-boards, 2-light window in gable and plain 1st-floor window; C20 shop front of plate glass with fascia, wrapping partially across main range to south-east; this is of 2 storeys with red-brick stack and rendered stack on south-east end, where there is a narrower projecting 2-storey gabled block, the front of which has 2 blind window openings and 3 segmental-headed plain sash windows on 1st floor. The ground floor has the shop front, 2 door openings, one to house, a C19 window and a C20 shop window. The rear has a projecting 2-storey wing making a T-plan, and mixture of C19 mullioned-and-transomed windows and margin-glazed sashes. Abutting the north-west end is the remnant of an earlier house with rendered walls and plain tile hipped roof with gablet. The rear 1st floor of this has a 6-pane sash with moulded surround and a 3-light casement. The ground floor is concealed behind flat-roofed rear extensions. INTERIOR: the early part is a former solar/parlour cross-wing of c1500, now forming part of shop. This structure was associated with 2-storey late C16 building adjoining (qv No.2, The Square) which replaced former open hall. The cross-wing was of 2 bays, set well back from street and has jowled posts and an arched wall brace, now visible from adjoining property. The crown-post roof has a lower collar to strengthen the gablet framing, as seems usual in Maldon.
