There are also windows to the outer right and left.

For Nos. 26 and 27, a forestair from the right leads to a pedimented door on the principal floor to the left of centre, situated in a broad slightly advanced bay. The carved pediment is a later addition dated 1720. There is a timber door in the stair return at ground level, with a small window in the return to the right at the first floor. Two windows are located at ground level to the left below a corbel in the re-entrant, extending to a stepped course.
