Asbestos slate roof with gabled ends abutting adjoining buildings Nos. 1 and 5. Large granite stack with thatch weatherings and moulded cap at right-hand gable end. Probably the higher end of a 3-room plan house of which the hall and lower end were No. 1 (q.v.), the rooms divided by low screens and therefore this part was open to the roof as well. Floored in circa early C17 when stack was built at higher right- hand end with stair turret to side. Partitions put in circa early C19 when made into separate cottage but present partitions probably C20. The right-hand doorway in front of stair creates lobby. 2 storeys. 2 window asymmetrical range.

At rear facing Pound Street, a small square stair window to right and another small narrow window at centre under eaves, both with old timber frames. C20 metal frame casements at ground floor centre and first floor right. Doorway to right with C20 plank door. Interior: 2 roof trusses, one over centre, the other in party wall with No.1 (q.v.) to left. Principals morticed at apex, straight collars, dovetail lap-jointed and side pegged. 2 tiers of purlins, centre truss threaded left (east) truss trenched. All small-blackened. Only the feet of the centre truss can be seen in first floor room and they are possibly jointed crucks. The east truss is closed but the plaster is clean. 2 crossbeam over ground floor room with ovolo and fillet moulding and double bar stops. The west beam is a half-beam against a chimneystack with a blocked fireplace. Rounded shaft to turret at left of stack with C20 stairs inserted. This is one of only 4 or 5 in Moretonhampstead town with medieval smoke-blackened roof timbers. Medieval roofs are rare in towns.
