The house entrance is offset to the L of centre, a panelled door with 4-pane overlight in a panelled doorcase. To its L the earlier section has 3-light casements in both storeys, under segmental heads and smaller in the upper storey. In the later section is a 3-light casement window to the R end in the lower storey. The upper storey above the shop has a 2-light and two 3-light casement windows. Between shop window and house is a cast iron George VI letter box by Allen & Co of London.

Reason for designation
Listed as a well-preserved C19 village house and shop of definite character that contributes to the overall historical integrity of the village.
