INTERIOR: cellar, linked with and similar to that under No.30, is lined with re-used squared stone blocks mixed with some rubble stone and flint. A later extension below the road cuts through the front stone walling and has semicircular vaulting. The beams on the ground storey are boxed in, with the exception of some studs in the rear wall from which infill has been removed, but it is clear that the front was originally jettied. There are long rear extensions of various dates with no visible features of interest.
