Description

May 1986. Grade II listed. A 17th century timber framed and plastered house, extended in the 19th and 20th centuries. The roof is covered with handmade red clay tiles. The building comprises three bays facing east (at right-angles to road) with a central chimney stack, and is of one storey with attics. There is a 19th century two-storey extension to the right and a 20th century lean-to extension to the rear of the original house, roofed with slate (replacing a similar but lower 18th/19th century extension). Internally, there are two wood-burning hearths of 0.23 metre brickwork, blocked, in the left bay. This house is first recorded, under the present name, in a deed of 1696. <1> See photo <2>.
