Shop. C16 and early C17. Timber-framed and rendered; plaintiled roof. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attics: a one-bay jettied front range and a small rear wing; the frontage seems to have been longer originally. A single 16-pane sash window to the upper storey in a flush cased frame and a single segmental-headed lead-covered dormer in the roof with a 2-light single bar casement window. The ground storey has a late C19 shop front with a recessed off-centre fully glazed entrance door, projecting fascia and panelled stall boards. INTERIOR: on the ground storey the main ceiling beam has a double shallow roll-moulding and run-off stops. Good close studding along the rear wall on both storeys has been exposed during 1992 alterations. The front wall has the remains of a T-shaped window with smaller side-lights, now blocked, with the larger central light replaced by a sash window. On the north gable wall, the remains of an original fireplace, now blocked, with a plain timber lintel keyed for plaster. In the attic a blocked fireplace is faced with old plaster and has the damaged remains of decoration in relief: 2 trees with part of a figure to one side and a horse's head between. Roof without principal rafters; clasped side purlins . The small C17 rear wing, which contains the stair, has a long 7-light diamond-mullioned window to the 1st storey and another smaller window with diamond mullions in the apex of the gable. In both cases the mullions are of small section and the windows appear inserted.
