(455) House, Nos. 12, 14, of timber framed construction, has an early 17th-century range, of three storeys and attic, on the street frontage and a two-storey wing of the early 14tyh century behind, formingan L-shaped plan; a later addition contains a mid or late 17th-century staircase, and there isa further extension of the 18th or 19th-century. The whole has been considerably modernised.

The early 18th-century wing is 14 1/2 ft. Wide and may have originaklly been an open hall. One bay, about 8ft. Lomg, survives with the roof largely intact and there are fragments of a second bay. The first floor is supported on a later post, suggesting an insertion, and some framing is visiblemon the first floor, the gable-end wall having posts with enlarged heads and braces up to the tie-beam. The surviving intermediate truss has a cambered tie-beam fron which arch braces have probably been removed; above the tie beam are straight raking struts supportingn side-purlins and there was originally a crown-post. Rafters and collars, of square section, were halved and fixed with lap-joints, but the collars were reset at a higher level inserted. Externally the wing is faced with later brickwork.

The early 17th-century range is of two bays and has upper floors jetties on the front; the main floor beams are of substantial scantling but common joists are relatively slight. The front wall is rendered and has has sash windows, but during repairs in 1973 the framing was exposed revealing vertical studs only, and a single butt-purlin on the rear slope; on the front slope there is a pair of valley rafters in each bay; indicating original gabled dormers. Some of the common rafters are of 14th-century origin. A timber newel stair has, on the second-floor landing, a short balustrade with mid or late 17th-century shaped splat balusters. The internal partitions and fittings are all 18th and 19th century or modern.
