House in row, with two shops. C17 or earlier fabric with mid/late C18 front. Timber-framing, but rendered front and tile roof. The small scale of this building, and the very steep roof to front range parallel to street and behind a high parapet, suggests an early building.

Two storeys, two-windowed. Small square two-light C19 casements with horizontal bars. Ground floor has two separate entry doors, and flanking shop fronts; to the left of the door is a substantial jetty bracket. Eaves stack to the back left, on a long swept-down roof-slope containing a three-light gabled dormer. rear of the property contains two dormer windows and one rooflight. To right is a lofty gable stack. The right half of the property has a long wing in painted brick with tile roof, but with a large structural post built in at the centre, and with large plate exposed externally. Various early casements, including a C18 gabled dormer window. At the outer gable is a large square stack. A lower extension has a two-light C19 dormer, with at the ground floor a 12-pane fixed C18 light, and a C19 part-glazed door.

INTERIOR: ground floors only were accessible for inspection. To left the shop has a deep bressumer beam to a corner post, corresponding to the jetty post in the entry. The joists are early. In the right half the front shop has a large transverse beam, and a large boxed beam at the front bressumer position. The middle room has a further beam on wall posts, and the rear room a large chamfered beam.
