Description
November 1977. Grade II listed.
A mid to late 16th century timber framed and weatherboarded pest house, now a dwelling. It was the pest house of All Saint's Parish in 1719, and possibly earlier. The building is set well back, at right-angles to the street. It is two storey with attics to the front (south). The roof is covered in plain tile. The rear (north) elevation has a catslide lean-to and an area of brickwork with brick lean-to extension. The brick extension has a tile roof over an oven. There are later outbuildings, covered with black weatherboarding and roofed in plain tile, between the house and street.
Internally there are two bays of good quality mid to late 16th century timber framing, and a further two bays of 17th century framing at the east end. A further bay at the west end seems to have replaced one bay of the original build. <1>
