House. C16 and early C17. Timber-framed with part of front of
rendered brick and otherwise rendered with some imitation
timber-framing. Roof of plain tiles with ridgeline lower at
east end. Central stack.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with attics and modern extensions to rear.
Front has 2 windows with 16-pane sashes on each floor. West
gable has applied imitation framing and a 4-light C20
small-paned casement on each floor. Ground floor also has a
fixed window of 6 panes. The east flank has a 2-light C20
casement on 1st floor and a C20 16-pane sash on ground floor.
Parallel 2-storey range with slacker-pitched plain tile roof,
probably C18, to rear and C20 flat-roofed single-storey rear
extension.
INTERIOR: former open-hall house with service cross-wing, of
C16, surviving at east end. This has soffit-tenoned floor
joists, jowled posts, and evidence for service doors and
central ground-floor partition. Roof is of simple collared
rafter type and is of small span. East flank has repaired
remains of window with hollow-chamfered mullions, rebated for
glazing and mortices for intermediate small bars. Central C17
stack, much altered at base, but with remnant of mantel beam.
Western part is a 2-storied rebuilding of late C16/ early C17
with substantial spine and bridging joists, all with variants
of lambs-tongue stops with additional roll mouldings and
scalloped decoration. Similar structure at first floor to
support attic.
Roof is of considerable interest having a clasped side purlin
in rear slope and joggled side purlins in front slope, all of
one build. The joggled side purlin was to allow for a dormer
in front roof slope and the soffit of this trimming purlin is
chamfered with lambs-tongue stops. This large single bay of
timber-framing was 'open' at western side presumably against a
now missing pre-existing cross-wing.
