House, No. 11, of two bays and three storeys with cellars and attics, was built c. 1750. It is similar in plan and elevational treatment to No. 13 to S. but is of a different build. The ground floor has been refitted in modern times.

The front elevation, of mottled brick laid in Flemish bond with red brick dressings, has a plat-band at second-floor level. The ground floor is filled by a modern shop front and the first-floor windows have been widened; the second-floor windows retain the original form. There was originally a deep cornice at the eaves but this has been removed. A 19th-century dormer lights the attics. The rear elevation has a closet wing at the N. end and is gabled, with an attic window within the gable. The original window openings, where they remain, have segmental arches of headers with recessed tympana.

Inside, an entrance passage at the S. end leads through to a yard at the rear and gives access to a room at the front, a staircase rising parallel to the street and a room at the back. An original fenestrated closet wing rises the full height of the house and is entered from the back room on each floor, including the attic floor. The principal room, that on the front at first floor, is fully panelled and has bold ovolo-moulded surrounds to door and fireplace enriched with large shells and stylised foliage, and a pilastered overmantel. In the room behind, the fireplace has a pilastered surround and is enriched with C-scrolls, foliage, flowers and shells. The staircase has an open string up to second floor and a close string above; its balusters do not have the usual bulb or urn-shaped feature below the square knop.
