Description
Xantippe is a three-storey building with a two-window gabled facade, covered in stucco. It features a cornice and end pilasters. On the second and first floors, there are two 12-pane sash windows set within architraves. The ground floor has a shopfront with a central doorway flanked by display windows, all beneath a classicising fascia board.
Inside, at the rear of the ground floor shop, there is a plastered ceiling divided into panels by partly stopped and moulded wooden beams, likely from the 17th century, arranged two panels wide and three deep. Similar moulded beams can be found in the front room on the first floor. The rear first floor room contains a possibly early 17th-century hooded fireplace on the southeast wall and two heavy chamfered beams. Additionally, there is a six reeded panel door, and the rear northwest wing also features massive beams.
