House no. 3 is divided from nos. 1 – 2 by a narrow single storey modern annexe. The walls are plastered timbered framing. It was built in the late 16th century and although all the windows have been since altered and the staircases reviews it remains rather less altered than most other houses of this type and date in the city.
