Summary

Nos 5 and 7 are now a shop and restaurant, though they were built in the late 18th century. There is a 17th century range behind No 7, and both buildings are rendered with a applied timber work on the gables. The street range has two storeys and there are 20th century glazed shop and restaurant fronts. There is a central door and three 17th century windows. The rear range is jettied on the southern (yard) side, and has roof timbers which suggest a date of around 1600.
