It is jettied on the north and south sides, although the south side has been underbuilt. A stone front was added on the east in the 18th century and later shop fronts have replaced much of the north wall. The one at no. 6 dates from 1848. Much of the medieval timber structure remains inside along with the crown post roof. The cellar contains some medieval stonework. On the roof is a large glazed lantern, with seats inside, that dates to around 1830. {2}
