Although Robert Moubray built a house here as early as 1477, the existing building is substantially of 17th century date. On plan it is L-shaped, the main block facing the street and the wing extending N, in alignment with the W gable. The major block has four storeys and an attic, the wing two storeys fewer. From the latter an oblong tenement extends to the N, and although this includes a cellarage, two upper floors and an attic, the wing is the higher of the two as it stands on higher ground. In the lower part of the front is a modern shop. Restored.
