Two 15th century and later ranges parallel to each other. They have been somewhat altered, but the coved first floor jetty remains to the long Muspole Street frontage and above it is mathematical tiling. There is also a jetty to to the courtyard side (south) of the other parallel range. In the 16th and 17th centuries, two further ranges were added to form a courtyard plan.
