At 1st storey, No.17 has small- pane late C18 sashes, and at ground storey a splayed cantilevered bay with small panes, of C20 in the C18 style. 4-panelled entrance door, the upper panels glazed. A wide C20 recess in the facade gives access to C20 doorways to Nos. 19 and 21. The rear wing of No.17 has good close-studding, a coupled- rafter roof, lodged upper floor joists and evidence for diamond-mullioned windows. A wide open fireplace has a truncated cambered lintel.
