House, 1693 on datestone; altered C18 and C20. Coursed squared limestone with
wooden lintels; old plain-tile roof with brick gable stacks. 3-unit plan,
extended to rear. 2 storeys plus attic. 3-window front, probably originally a
symmetrical 5-window arrangement, has renewed 12-pane sashes with stop-chamfered
lintels, except to right of the doorway where the 16-pane late C20 sash replaces
a wider 3-light leaded transomed casement; central doorway with 4-panel door has
a heavy frame incorporating a leaded 2-light overlight and has a segmental
canopy on carved scroll brackets sheltering stucco decoration including a
circular medallion with a female bust. Roof has 3 hipped roof dormers. Gable
walls have small blocked windows and paired stacks. Rear has some old
stop-chamfered lintels. Interior: oak dogleg stair, rising to attic, with heavy
barleytwist balusters, ball finials, turned pendants and a dog gate;
moulded-plank oak doors; ovolo-moulded beam on moulded bracket; large fireplace
with herringbone-brick back; early-C18 painted-deal fielded panelling,
bolection-moulded fireplaces and doors. Datestone over canopy inscribed
"W/IE/1693", refers to John and Elizabeth Walker.
