Number 4 and its neighbour Number 2 the last houses to be built in the street in the early 1720's. The first owner was the brewer Benjamin Truman. "Each of the upper two storeys of No. 4 has four evenly spaced windows, with a blind window against the party wall to complete the even rhythm across the two fronts. The ground storey has a stucco facing of about 1820, with Doric pilasters supporting a plain entablature. The rest of the front is of yellow brick, with red brick jambs and high segmental arches to the windows, which now contain wooden casements with hoppers. A brick bandcourse underlines the parapet which is finished with a stone coping. One small hipped-roofed dormer lights the loft." The house has been preserved in near original form and contains 15 rooms which are let out as locations for photography, filming and private functions.
