Description
This is a 17th-18th century timber-framed and plastered house, originally divided into two tenements. It is two storeys high with attics. Casement windows are visible. The southern portion of the house is older and likely extended in the 18th or 19th century, when the northern tenement was built or refronted and subsequently colourwashed. The roof is thatched and includes three gabled dormers. A large external chimney stack with tabled offsets is located at the south end.
