House with shop premises. Circa early C17, remodelled and extended in mid C19. All stuccoed. The early C17 range to north is said to be timber framed, mid C19 range to south probably stone rubble. Asbestos slate roofs. The original north range with gabled end to road with bargeboards. The mid C19 part hipped with overhanging eaves. Granite lateral stack on north (right) side of C17 range, with brick shaft. The early C17 building was probably a 2-room or deeper plan with gable end to street and lateral stack to right (north). It seems to have been extended or rebuilt at front and now has a Victorian shop in the front room in use as a butcher's shop. Mid C19 exterior to left (south) of 2 room and carriageway plan with central entrance to front which faces south. The carriageway leads to back yard. Early C17 part facing east is 2 storeys and basement; one bay gabled front. Ground floor and C19 double-fronted shop with later plate glass windows and moulded cornice, flush panel double doors to right of centre with rectangular fanlight above. One C19 8-pane sash above. Set back to left at lower ground level is side of mid C19 extension which faces street to south. Lower 2 storey, 1:2 window range. C19 sashes with horizontal glazing bars only. Doorway to right of centre with heavy moulded cornice over lintel, C20 glazed door with rectangular fanlight. Carriageway to left with concealed straight lintel and boarded door. Interior: remodelled in C19 and with C20 alterations but original stack has small fireplace on second floor formerly heating rear room but now facing stairs. It has an ovolo moulded wooden lintel, with bar, hollow and notch stop. As well as its early C17 fabric the building has a largely unaltered mid C19 exterior which makes a valuable contribution to this prominent central situation in Moretonhampstead.
