Dated 1776. 2-storey, 3-bay square-plan traditional house with modern 2-storey extension and conservatory to rear. Painted harling; droved stone margins.

W ELEVATION: plain gable.
S ELEVATION: modern ground floor lean-to conservatory to left. 2-storey flat-roofed concrete extension to centre. 1st floor window to left close to eaves.
E ELEVATION: advanced gable of former attached house. Ground floor modern French door to right and elongated window to right.
4-pane timber sash and case windows to N and 1st floor to S; modern glazing elsewhere. Timber panelled and 2-pane glazed door to N. Pitched roof; pantiles; easing slates; raised ashlar coped skews; coped gablehead stacks; octagonal clay cans.
The house formerly abutting to E is now demolished. The traditional marriage inscription and pantiles add interest to an early village street plan. This house forms part of an 18th century arrangement of single and multi-storey dwellings forming large U-plan from No 4 Post Office Lane to No 1 Helen Place (formerly known as Chapel Place). Post Office Lane was formerly known as North Lane and was the main route down to the shore of St James's Bay, now mostly in-filled from quarrying.
