Two-storey building on the south side of North Street, which although the front at ground floor level is completely 20th century indate, the framing above, exposed during repair work in 1997, proves the building dates back to the late 17th/ early 18th century. The interior has been massively altered however and it is not clear if any of the original layout of the interior remains. Although the front roof has been altered substantially, the remains of the original trusses show the front roof was supported on a series of A-frame trusses. The form of the windows recorded was unusual in that they have no inner mouldings.

Early 18th century house with shop, this building has a rendered timber-framed front, the dormer gable with painted slate-hanging and painted stone rubble and asbestos slate-hanging at rear (visible from King's Bridge). There is a large rendered chimney at the rear; this appears to have had a tapered cap until reduced in height in 1977. Two rooms wide street range. Parallel range to rear left; wing at right-angles to rear right (both possibly later additions). At right-angles to rear left range is a lower wing; possibly a former detached building contemporary with the front range.
