Listed building description 16th century or earlier timber framed house with later extension, now three cottages. The cottages are timber framed and plastered with thatched roofs and red pantiles to the 20th century extension. They were one storey with attics. The original house with gabled crosswing to right has a single storey extension and 20th century porch to left. The 20th century door to No. 37, has an Eagle Insurance plaque over. The interior of the central dwelling No. 37 has a heavy timber frame with halved bracing and an inserted ceiling and original stairs around chimney. Fire surround with smoke board and shelf over. The gabled crosswing has heavy bridging and ceiling joists, and a restored inglenook fireplace backing onto that in No. 37. No entry to No. 35 at time of re-survey, but it appears to be a 17th to 18th century extension. <1>
