Shop premises, formerly part of a house. Early C17 with C19 alterations. Timber-framed and roughcast rendered; concrete plaintiles; jettied along front. This is the surviving bay of a 3-cell house, with a small extension on the west. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. One sash window to the upper storey with a single vertical glazing bar in a flush cased frame. A small C19 shop front with glazing-bars to the ground storey. One flat-headed dormer in the roof. At the east end, a boarded and slatted door to a passageway leading to the rear. Various C19 extensions at the back. INTERIOR: main ceiling beams with chamfer and lamb's tongue stops. Remains of a diamond mullioned window in the rear wall on the 1st storey. The end wall on the east has been rebuilt in brick, and the original end wall on the west has been removed on both storeys to allow for a small extension. No evidence for original heating, although this appears to have been the parlour end of the house. Roof inaccessible.
