Description
This is a timber-framed building dating from the 15th to 16th centuries, possibly built in the Wealden pattern. It has been refronted with mathematical tiles and has a steeply-pitched tiled roof. The building is two storeys high and contains four sash windows, one of which is a three-light bay. There are two 19th-century shop fronts. The group value is that it contributes to the character of the street.
