Pair of houses, now single dwelling, C17 early C19 with earlier origins. Timber-framed and rendered with plain tile roofs. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 3-window range; 2-storey-with-attic range at rear. No.30 has plain tile roof, hipped at south-east end. The ashlared 1st floor has two 16-pane sash windows with moulded surrounds, and is jettied over a ground floor of painted brick with 2 similar sash windows and a C20 12-pane sash. The front of No.32 is of rendered brick with a C20 tripartite sash on 1st floor; ground floor has canted bay window with flat roof and small panes; flight of steps to recessed door with semicircular-arched opening with keystone; semicircular fanlight with 2 radiating glazing bars and door of 6 moulded panels. To the rear of No.32 is a timber-framed 2-storey building with plain tiled gambrel roof parallel to frontage and stack and projection on south-east flank. INTERIOR: No.32 has front room with early C19 panelling below dado. Straight-flight staircase with handrail on panelled pilasters with lily motif at head and foot. Early C19 corner cupboard with doors, serpentine shelves and elliptical-arched head. Panelled and framed C17 door and small C17 door of panelling. SW part of No.30 a 2-bay parlour cross-wing with side-purlin roof and straight wind bracing. This may represent an earlier cross-wing, possibly C15, rebuilt in late C16 to incorporate square-section floor joists and moulded-mullion window on 1st floor of SW flank. The hall part of this structure has similar joists and large chamfered spine beam with side-purlin roof of A-frame type with heavy-section collars. Tie beam, on upper floor, cambered and hollow-chamfered towards cross-wing, probably reused from earlier hall.
