One room wide and 2 rooms deep. Doorway off a narrow alley up the left (south) side lobby entrance. Exterior: 3 storeys; 2-window range. Plaster front is lightly blocked out as ashlar. 2 ground-floor windows are early 12-pane sashes, those above are horned replacements. First floor has square-cornered flat-roofed bay window with paired front 12-pane sashes, and second floor has paired 3/6-pane sashes. More replacement sashes in rubble side wall. Doorway contains 19th century six-panel door with fielded upper panels and plain overlight above. Plain eaves and hipped roof. Interior: Although modernised there remains a good deal of original joinery detail, interesting for its simple style. This includes timber chimneypieces, a round-headed cupboard and 2-panel doors.
