EXTERIOR: Front elevation: Two storeys, Five bays with open passage entrance to right and doorways to the left in bays 2 and 3. Bay 1 has multi-pane shop window, bay 3 has a doorway with 6-panel part-glazed door, and a multi-pane display window to the right. Single ridge chimney to right-hand end.

INTERIOR: The street frontage range is divided into two cells, that to the right with a substantial chamfered spine beam, winder stair, hearth with imported surround and C17 square panelling moved from an upper room. The hearth wall incorporates a spice cupboard. The rear range has back to back hearths in the present pottery workshop, and a further altered hearth to the end bay with a damaged decorative plaster overmantle panel with the inscription F/I M/1666.Above, a large undivided room or workshop accessed by means of the external stair, with exposed cross-framed spine beams. Roof structure supported on tie beam trusses with angle struts, the trusses formed from what appear to be re-used cruck blades.

An L-shaped range of shops and workshops formed from a former high-status house in the historic centre of Kendal. The building plot reflects the town's distinctive urban form, with its pedestrian access passage to the side of the building, and the interior retains much original detail, despite later adaptation and exterior remodelling.
