The roof is plaintiled and has truncated axial chimneys made of pink and gault brick. On the gable facing High Street, there are oak barge-boards from around 1600, which include billet carving and a drop-finial at the ridge. The front has 20th-century casements and a pair of 20th-century bay shop windows with a fascia above, along with a half-glazed entrance door from the 20th century. Inside, late 16th-century timber-framing is exposed, featuring a wind-braced clasped purlin roof. There is also a 17th-century rear wing that extends for 10 metres along the High Street frontage; this wing is timber-framed, encased in painted brick, and has a plaintiled roof.
