This is listed with 9 St Andrew Street, as the historical development of the property shows that there was an earlier house aligned side on to the street and set back from it, which included the rear of both properties. The rear block on the north side forms the lower part of the 18th century house, and part of the front wall of that house appears to survive on the first floor. The windows of the earlier house have probably been reused as doorways to provide access from the later block at the front. The south wing of the property where it fronts onto Ham Place, contains what appears to be a wharehouse type building. The south wall extending along Ham Place is unrendered and displays a variey of stone types in its construction, however there is no evidence for any construction breaks or joints in the whole length of the wall. The windows with stone surrounds and keystones are of uniform style. The covered walkway is entered by a doorway from Ham Place. To the east of this, extending to St Andrew Street, is a range of cellars vaulted in brick with chamfered piers and low segmental arched roofs, which appear to be of early 19th century date. The wing to the west of the covered archway does not appear to be for domestic use, but it contained a substantial fireplace in the west end wall. The 1889 Ordnance Survey 1:500 map shows that the property was divided, the Star Inn being the lower, southern, half. Other details: Plate 2.

Painted stone ashlar front, left return of stone rubble with dressings of freestone and red brick. Rear wall of squared stone rubble, except for red brick right (north) side wall to rear wing. Slated roofs, with squared sone rubble chimneys with raised stone bands at the top on side walls and ridge of main range. L-shaped plan with long rear wing extending down Ham Place. Front range has two storeys, garret and basement, and is divided into three bays by pilaster strips. The strip between the two right hand bays stops short above a doorway (probably of later date) with patterned architrave and cornice. There is a further plain doorway at left-hand end. Upper storey windows, two per bay, have continued sills. Left return to Ham Place has in the ground and basement storeys mostly segmental headed windows with stone surrounds and keystones. One basement window has been converted from a doorway. Other windows have jambs and segmental arches of red brick. All windows are boarded up.
