This house is also known as Willoughby House. It is mostly 18th century and was probably built around 1717. It has a chimney stack in the east wall which appears to be 17th century and a single storey rear wing of 17th century origin, although this was refaced in ashlar stone in the late 18th century. The street front was refaced before 1870. Internally, most features date from a redecoration carried out around 1790, although there is an early 18th century staircase. On an outbuilding is a stone inscribed 'Under the pavement is a well 1717' which may refer to a feature discovered during the building of the house. {2}
