Description

May 1986. Grade II listed. A 17th century timber framed house, altered in the 19th century. It is roughcast rendered and roofed with handmade red clay tiles and slates. The 17th century range faces north and there is a 19th century parallel range to the south, with three internal chimney stacks at the junction, forming a rectangular plan. On the ground floor of the north elevation are three sash windows of which one is early 19th century, the others late 19th century. The first floor similarly has three early 19th century sash windows with crown glass, and two 20th century casements. The left upper window has crown glass in every pane, a rare survival which merits special care. There is an early 19th century six-panel door and cast iron fanlight with guilloche and garland tracery, in a dentilled open pediment. The rendering of the north range is over weatherboarding. <1> <2> See photo <3>.
