Façade of bricks with horizontal skintlings of an early type suggesting a date around 1770, which was the date the owner in 2000 was given for the house when it was purchased. The whole appearance is so unlike 17th century work that one must query whether there is a misprint in the Listing, and it was intended to read Late 18th century. There is a sillbeam in the rear wall at a higher level than the façade base, but the ceiling beam of the ground floor room, and the joists, are on edge. Fireplace recent. Winding stairs remain in no 6 but not in no 4.
