GV II House, now shop and dwelling (and renovation in progress at time of survey, 1988), and two cottages attached to the rear. Respectively early C18 (altered) and C17 or earlier, altered.

No.35 is of brick covered with white-painted pebble-dash, on a flint plinth painted black, with a red tile roof. The plan is single depth, rectangular, two bays (perhaps reduced from three); two storeys and two bays, with a square shop window in the first bay, a doorway in the second, two twelve-pane sashed windows above, and a chimney at the left gable. The right-hand gable wall has an inserted door at ground floor and renewed gable weatherboarding with a small attic window.

Interior: radical alterations in progress, exposing a spine beam, wall-plates, and some studs with brick nogging, all these timbers of light scantling.

Nos.1 and 2 Mansion Cottages (attached at right-angles to the rear) are timber framed with brick nogging painted white, red tile roof, brick chimneys. Single-depth linear plan. Two low storeys with four windows at first floor; exposed timber-framing includes parts of two wall-posts, rails, studs, and one upbrace close to the junction with No.35, all of light scantling; No.1 has a narrow modern chimney stack attached to the centre of the front wall, to the left of this a shallow bay window at ground floor and a single-light casement above with diamond panes, to the right an inserted doorway and a casement above. The front wall of No.2 is stepped back in the second bay; the first bay has a small caement on each floor, the second has a fixed window at ground floor and a two-light casement above, and a lean-to extension at the right-hand end containing the doorway. Large chimney stack rising from rear slope of No.1, ridge chimney to No.2.
