A central door with 6 raised fielded panels, the top 2 glazed, has a moulded and eared architrave, scotia-moulded frieze and triangular pediment. The north side has a projecting former garden wall to 1st storey level in red brick with an admixture of moulded re-used Abbey stone blocks. On the ground storey 2 late C20 shop fronts in traditional style. INTERIOR: front range with the remains of a crown-post roof, the crown-post, now embedded in a partition wall, with a mutilated moulded cap and base concealed by the present floor level, braced only to the collar-purlin. A section of original rafters in one bay are visible along the rear slope of the roof with empty housings for the former collars. The front of the roof was pushed forward and later raised and is at a shallower pitch. In the north-east angle a section of upper framing is exposed: wallplate and tie-beam and an arched brace halved against the studs; all the timbers have traces of red ochre colouring. A chimney-stack against the north wall, in Tudor brick laid in an irregular bond, has a fireplace only on the ground storey. The C17 rear wing has the remains of a side purlin roof. A mid-C19 winder stair to the 1st storey in the south-east angle has a ramped handrail and stick balusters. A boxed-in beam on the ground storey is supported by ornate early C18 console brackets, re-set.
