House, now 2 shops. Late C15 early C16. Floored mid to late C17 and altered in C19 and C20. Timber frame on brick and flint base, rendered, slate roof to front and (machine) clay tiles to rear. 3 bays have been widened to the rear with short wings added to the right and left of 1 and 2 storeys respectively, possibly reflecting earlier wings. Although partly open originally, right-hand bay may have been storeyed. Passage through building on ground floor, to right of centre bay, may indicate position of earlier screen passage. On ground floor shop fronts are a mix of C19 and C20 work while 3 C19 centred and sashed oriels punctuate the first floor. Roof raised. Left gable has brick and flint base with roughcast render above in which the line of the original steeply pitched roof is visible, C18 or C19 brick stack above. Inserted stack between centre and right bays, of similar age, recently truncated. Interior: exposed framing, jowled posts with mixture of curved and straight braces to cambered tie beams, cut to centre bay. Crown post roof. Original truss to left of centre has unusually short crown post with octagonal shaft, broached with spurs to a moulded square cap and base. From this springs an unmoulded square vertical member into which 4 way braces to support the collar and collar purlin are jointed. Although roof has been raised some rafters remain in their original position. Inserted floor over centre bay has stopped chamfered joists.
