House or inn, now two shops and two flats. Dated 1663, altered C19 and C20. Bargate rubblestone with red-brick dressings. Plain tile roof. Two storeys with attic; four bays. Two C20 shop fronts, not of special interest, and panelled door on left (to No 76A). Ground and first floors each have moulded brick cornice, with tile weathering, above a band of raised, brick, ovals and lozenges, first floor cornice rising at centre into segmental pediment (broken by rainwater pipe).

Windows have flat brick arches and are of three lights to first floor, two lights to attic, all with mid-C19 decorative square- and polygonal-paned glazing. First floor has strapwork panels between windows, pendant finials to ends, and more elaborate central panel with oval datestone. Attic originally had four gables, with strapwork, these joined up in C19 to form coped parapet ramping down at each end; three old rainwater heads. Very large multiple-flue, central ridge stack.

Rear: ground-floor, masked by late C19 addition (which is not of special interest), has round arched door on right (to No 76A). First floor has strapwork decoration; wood-mullioned three-light windows with flat brick arches, right-hand window retaining two diamond-leaded lights, left-hand window masked by addition (not of special interest); stepped cornice.

Attic: four gables, each with header-brick-arched, two-light windows,those on right having iron casements with saddle bars and diamond-leaded glazing, the left-hand gable masked by later stack.

Left return (visible from rear) has the left-hand gable strapwork and cornice as rear; on ground floor a blocked former doorway and window with an inserted doorway on right; a three-light window former floor; gable has over-sailing, brick-banded triangular pediment. Right return: plainer, but with first-floor band and cornice; on ground floor two blocked wood-mullioned two-light windows and inserted door (to No. 74A); partly blocked wide, wood-mullioned attic window; tile-hung gable, half-hipped.

Interior: large-scantling chamfered beams with lambs tongue stops. On first floor No 76A has some scratch-moulded plank and muntin panelling and old winder stair with turned balusters up to attic which has old panelled cupboard door.

An unusual example of exuberant C17 brickwork.
