House, No. 13, of the 15th or early 16th century, is timber-framed, in two bays, with the first floor jettied on the front elevation. Originally of two storeys, it was heightened in the 19th century to provide a semi-attic, and the general appearance is now of the latter date and uniform with the adjacent building, No. 15. The front elevation is rendered and there are Victorian gablets with shaped barge-boards over the first-floor and dormer windows. The back elevation is mostly obscured by an early 19th-century addition; the only original part visible is at the S.E. end where the corner-post confirms the absence of a jetty on this side. This post has a curved brace to the wall-plate. Inside, very little framing can be seen. Part of the original central crown-post roof truss survives embedded in a partition in the attic; the bracing of the crown-post and the collar-purlin have probably been removed, and the rest of the roof has been rebuilt.

House, No. 15, built probably in the 16th or 17th century, is timber-framed and was originally of two storeys but heightened in the 19th century to provide a semi-attic, in a similar manner to No. 13 adjoining. The framing is of two bays, with the first floor jettied to the front. The S.W. end wall was not closed, indicating that it was either built up against an existing building or that the range formerly extended further. On the first floor of the S.W. bay are posts in the front wall with heads jowled in the wall-plane, suggesting a gabled roof facing the street. Very little framing is otherwise visible, and the existing roof is a later rebuild.

The front elevation is rendered and has Victorian gablets over windows and dormers to match No. 13. At the back is a large chimney, possibly 17th-century, together with later additions (see also No. 17 (186)). On the first floor is an early 19th-century reeded chimney-piece.
