An early 19th century timber framed and rendered house with plain tile roofs. It probably has earlier origins and may be a late medieval cross-wing.

October 1951. Grade II listed. An early 19th century timber framed and rendered house with plain tile roofs. It probably has earlier origins and may be a late medieval cross-wing. The building is two storeys and has two lean-tos on the south-east flank, a corrugated asbestos roofed lean-to forward of these, and a long single-storey outbuilding range down the south-east boundary of the site. Part of the frontage projects forward slightly and has a plain parapet. The ground floor has a doorcase with a hood and plain architrave and four-panel door. To the left of the door is a canted flat-roofed bay window. To the left of this is another doorcase with hood, reeded pilasters and remnants of one wrought-iron handrails. <1> See photos <2>. An enigmatic block resembling a crosswing with a remarkable 18th century wall painting of two figures on the flank side of the chimney stack. <3> The building abuts No.14 Market Hill (EHER 38424) to the north-west.
