The building is across three storeys and the ground floor has two plate-glass 20th century shop windows and two plain glazed 20th century entrance doors.

There are two parallel roofs which run at right angles to the front and are covered in plain tile. The roofs have hipped fronts behind a plain parapet and have rendered gables to the rear. The building is three storeys. The ground floor has two plate-glass 20th century shop windows and two plain glazed 20th century entrance doors. The building abuts No.5 to the south-west and No.9 (EHER 38311) to the north-east. Internally, there is a very interesting quality timber frame from the first half of the 17th century with many innovative features using a 'box frame' approach. A linked roof gives access between A-framed attics and may be original feature. <1> See photos <2>.
