History
The façade of this house formerly bore a sign decorated with a sculpted cherry tree, which gave its name to the street. The south façade is raised by one storey in dressed stone, and a gable in timber and nogging. The first storey is pierced by two rectangular windows, each pierced under a moulded pointed-arch relieving arch.
