Farmhouse and attached outbuildings, now shops and offices. Probably C16, with C17 additions, C18, C19 and C20 alterations and additions. Timber frame with later cladding, including tile-hanging at 1st floor; red tile roofs. The plan is now L-shaped, with an early C19 element facing the street, a timber-framed range continued to the rear and another at right angles towards the rear of the left side of this. Two storeys with facade of 2+1 bays; No.21 has a modern shop at ground floor, tile-hanging at 1st floor with two 12-pane sashed windows, and a hipped roof with projecting eaves; No.23 has a shop at groundfloor, a 3-light casement at 1st floor under a gablet, and a steeply-pitched roof. The features of special interest are in the interior of No.21: the ground floor of the rear wing has some ceiling joists of large scantling, and vacant mortices for others in the mid-rail of a timber frame which forms the junction, and at 1st floor this frame has jowelled posts and a king-post roof truss with a large cambered tie-beam and curved struts; the main range has some exposed wall-plates and tie-beams of lighter scantling; and in the roof there are some smoke-blackened rafters.
