House, now offices. C17 core; early C19 front; C20 rear extensions. Timber-framed and brick fronted, apart from a rendered panel at the left side with an outsize auctioneer's hammer and surveyor's rule in high relief above the jetty of No.5 (qv). Slate roof with a paired modillion eaves cornice. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and cellar. 2 window range: 12-pane sashes to 1st, 6-pane to 2nd storey, all in plain reveals with flat gauged arches. An Edwardian shop window to the ground storey with glazing-bars in the top lights only. A 6-panel door in plain reveals, with a rectangular fanlight, has a recessed foot-scraper on the right. INTERIOR: cellar, with old render over random flint, stone and brick, has a timber ceiling with joists set on edge. The timber-framed interior of the building is in 2 ranges, parallel to the street. The ground storey has an early C19 layout with a long passage leading to the rear and a stair with stick balusters and a moulded handrail. The passage is lined with low square Jacobean panelling which has moulded muntins; the rooms have boxed-in main beams. On the 1st storey the principal front room has a plain moulded cornice and is panelled throughout, with raised early C18 mouldings to the panels. There are similar mouldings to all the door-frames, to the 2-panel doors, and to the whole rear room, which has a fine bolection-moulded fireplace surround. The upper part of this fireplace has a blank panel and is coved above below the cornice with a narrow oil-painting of a seascape on the slope, an unusual arrangement. Rendered attic with blocked fireplaces. One window, probably Edwardian, in the north wall has Gothick tracery to the head and small-paned casements. A few main C17 timbers exposed on the upper storey.
