4 houses, now three, C17, S half probably earlier. Timber frame, white weatherboarded over a red brick plinth. Steep old red tile roof gabled at N but half-hipped at S. A block of 1½ storeys, formerly 4 cottages and a double-width shop, now 3 properties. Nos 73 and 75 at S appear to have originated as a 3-unit central chimney house with a 2 storeys parlour at the S end and a floor inserted in the remainder with 2 dormers to light the upper floor. The N part appears to be a later building between gable chimneys. 3 taller gabled dormers and unequal division of the Ground floor. Total 7 window front with shallow square bay window on left and 6-panelled doors. Lefthand house has a low flush box sash window of 12/12 small panes under the eaves. The shop at the Nend has a central half-glazed door up 2 steps with moulded architrave and moulded cornice. It is flanked by 3 x 3 paned Cl9 shop windows. 3 2-light casement dormer windows. A picturesque C17 timberfrmed weatherboarded range. An essential feature in the varied group at this part of the Conservation Area.
