Location
Situated opposite rear wing of the King's Head.
History
House and shop of early C18 origins altered in C19, the smaller scale, steep roof and attic dormers suggesting an early date.

Ground floor still had sash windows in c1905 photograph.

Concrete tiled gabled roof with swept eaves broken by 3 tall gables. Painted stucco facade with plinth, small 4-pane sash windows to upper floors, smaller to attic. C20 single pane window to left ground floor and shop front to right, probably earlier C20: panelled pilasters with fluted blocks over framing fascia and blocks above, framing 2 recessed doors flanking 3-sided shop window. House door to left (in centre of house) and shop door to right are both half-glazed with plain overlight. Rear has concrete tiles, render and low gabled wing to left with truncated end stack.
