Description
This is a medieval timber-framed and plastered building with a cross wing located on the south side. The building was substantially altered in the 19th century. The roof is tiled, featuring 19th-century ornamental bargeboards and an eaves board. It has two storeys and a three-window front with double-hung sashes and margin glazing bars. The ground floor now contains modern shop fronts and a three-panel door with a semi-circular fanlight, fluted pilasters, and an open pediment. A carriageway is located at the north end of the building. The property has been renovated.
