The second storey has lightish close-studding to Lower Bridge Street and to Shipgate street, north, with no intermediate rail; 2 mullioned 5-light casements on brackets have leaded glazing; 2 timber-framed blank gables; that to No.88 suggests there was formerly a narrow gap between the 2 houses; a tall brick chimney set back, just north of the valley, and a chimney further back. The front to Shipgate Street has a bracket to the jetty, a 1-light window, a part-glazed door and a 3-light mullioned and transomed casement to the first storey; a 2-light leaded mullioned and transomed casement to each main bay of the second storey and one to the pebbledashed rear bay; the attic storey has a 4-light mullioned leaded casement in each of the 2 timber-framed gabled dormers.
