Oldhouse Farmhouse (EHER 1560)

Early to mid 17th century farmhouse, timber-framed and plastered. It was extended late in 17th century, and has been altered and renovated. The original house consisted of a range of five bays of timber-framing running east to west. The central bay housed a chimney-stack which heated a parlour on one side and a hall-kitchen on the other.
