Two houses, built late C16 as one 3-cell house. 2 storeys. Timber-framed and pebble-dashed. Pantiled roof, once thatched. An axial chimney to right and a gable chimnney to left, both with shafts rebuilt of C20 red brick. No.22 has late C20 small pane casements, and a flush entrance door with glazed panel. No.24 has a C19 small-pane sash at ground storey and a small-pane casement above, and a mid C19 6-panelled door. Unmoulded framing of c.1600 exposed internally: close studding; floor joists laid flat with very slight chamfer; wind-braced clasped purlin roof. A good fitted corner cupboard of late C18. There appears to be a chimney bay to left of the hall from which the chimney has been removed; an open fireplace (blocked) to right probably superceded it in C17/C18.
