Long 2-storey late-medieval house and shop with narrow gabled facade. Of close-studded, timber-framed construction, partly with limestone rubble walls to the rear section; modern slate roof with simply-moulded bargeboards. Tall brick lateral chimney. The front gable has jettying to the first floor and gable above. Modern shop front with entrance to the R, and a plain-glazed modern 2-light window to the first floor. The rear gable has a jettied upper floor supported on a double-curved green sandstone corbels on the R. Modern entrance (boarded door) to the ground-floor L, with modern 3-light windows to both floors; the ground floor has later rubble infill. The right-hand side wall (W) is full height to the rear section and has a blocked-up 4-light wooden mullioned window to the former Solar. The L (E) side has a similar blocked early window to its timber-framed upper floor. To the L of this are 2 small primary windows, one to each floor and both walled-up; these have chamfered sandstone reveals. It is possible that they originally lit an internal stair.

The former shop (front room) has a simply-moulded, stopped-chamfered lateral beam with plain, flat ceiling joists, all of early Tudor character. Beyond this the floor level drops by approximately 1m to the rear section. This has a C17 ceiling sub-dividing the former hall, with stopped-chamfered main beam and plain joists. The rear chamber, formerly the parlour, has a fine moulded and broach-stopped lateral main beam supporting finely stopped-chamfered joists, close-framed and flat-set in the late medieval manner.
