Number 16 is a two-bay house from the late 16th century, and number 18 is partially contemporary with it. Number 14 was built in the early 18th century. The buildings are timber-framed and plastered, with steep gabled roofs covered in old red tiles. They are two storeys and attics in height.

A similar window is located north of the front door on the ground floor. A flat hood rests above the front door, supported by shaped brackets. A single-storey plastered rear wing has a roof of old red tiles.
