Description

This is a 15th-century house and shop, originally timber-framed and plastered with a red plain tile roof. The timber frame is visible on the street-facing elevation. The building is two storeys high. It was originally jettied but is now underbuilt, with a partially restored original shopfront. The first floor has a single window, a leaded casement. The ground floor has two shop windows with four-centred heads. Internally, much of the original timber frame remains.
