(459) Houses and shops, Nos. 22, 24, of three storeys and cellars, are of timber-framed construction , but with a mid-18th-century front elevation in brick. They form a single building consisting of two parallel ranges, both of three bays but of unequal length, running back from the street and originally jettied and gabled to the front. It appears to be generally of early 17th century date but there are some timber joints and other features not in accordance with the existing framing, and it must either have been built with reused timbers or be an earlier building greatly modified.

Theb front elevation is three bays wide, but only two windows retain 18th-century sashes; it has a late Victorian shop front, subsequently modernised, a modillioned timber eaves cornice, and twin hipped and pantiled roofs. The gabled rear elevation is partly of exposed framing and is otherwise plastered. A low two-storeyed framed wing behind No. 22 is a later addition, reusing earlier materials, and No. 24 has a long, narrow wing of 18th-century date to the rear. Inside, there are several walls with exposed framing, most of them in No. 24, and which consist of studs and thin, straight braces; the roof has clasped-purlins. No. 22 has a staircase with splat balusters and some 17th-century panelling; on the ground floor is an early 19th-century fireplace with a cast-iron surround.
