Previously known as Raynald's Mansion, and since divided into two dwellings, it originated as a hall house, with the front added in the 17th century. The building is timber framed with plaster infill and some brick, and it has a tile roof. There are three storeys and three bays. Each bay contains a square two-storey bay window. Between the bays, in the middle floor are balconies, and in the ground floor are small 19th-century shop fronts. All the windows are 19th-century casements. In the top floor are three gables with carved bargeboards.[1][2]
