Possibly late C17 with substantial alterations and extensions. Timber-framed with brick infill; Kent tile roofs. Double-depth plan with stacks in the valley between the roofs that run parallel to the street; lateral stairs and 2 jettied gables to attic at rear. It is possible that each house had a detached kitchen, that to No 100 largely rebuilts in brick in the C19 and connected to the house by a narrow storeyed wing, that to No 102 marked by a short stretch of Cl7 brick walling that returns on the line of the rebuilt block to No 100. 3 storeys.
