Listed as No.51 but it seems the building marked on OS 1:2500 as No.49 must be meant.
15th century shop and hall house, rebuilt late 16th century, remodelled early 19th century. Timber frame now behind flint and gault brick skin. Two storeys and attic. Rear cross wing with offset at first floor and 16th century ridge stack. Has large inglenook fireplace in ground floor east wall. Rear wing has late 16th century bridging beams with sunk quadrants and one subsidiary keeled fillet. Decorated bar stops. Similar beams to first floor.
Information from (S1). No explanation for identification as hall house given - presumably the bridging beams have evidence that they are later insertions.
