The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'ensemble des façades est en pans de bois à croisillons, avec remplissage en briques de champ. Le demi pignon est en pans de bois verticaux. Au-dessus du premier étage se trouve une frise en pans de bois à croisillons plus grands. Cette maison et sa voisine sont les seules qui subsistent des maisons de bois du 15e siècle, les autres ayant été détruites par les bombardements de 1940.

The text above is the record as published by the Ministère de la Culture, in French.

The whole of the façades is in timber framing with cross-bracing, with infilling in end-grain bricks. The half gable is in vertical timber framing. Above the first floor is found a frieze in timber framing with larger cross-bracing. This house and its neighbour are the only ones that survive of the wooden houses of the 15th century, the others having been destroyed by the bombardments of 1940.
