(Formerly listed as THE CAUSEWAY Nos. 6 and 8 (Causeway House))

II

House, early C16, now two dwellings, with original plan of open-hall with a cross-passage, service end to left hand and parlour to right hand. In C17 a floor and small hearth and stack were inserted into the open-hall and the house was converted into one of lobby-entry plan. At about the same time, a service wing was added at the rear. Timber framed, plaster rendered with a pantiled roof of steep pitch and an internal stack. Two storeys, and an attic to parlour end. Three C19 casements and a small casement to a closet opposite the stack. Three windows at ground floor and two doorways, one opposite the stack and the other opening on to the original cross-passage and now with an early C19 doorcase.

Interior. Early C16 plan of open-hall with cross-passage, the screen having been removed, and floored service end. The opposing rear entry is still in use. The joists to the ceiling in the service end are laid flat and are unmoulded and original internal partition walls are exposed to reveal close studding of substantial scantling. The wall between the service end and the hall has an original doorway, now blocked, with an arched head. The tie beams are cambered and are arch braced. The roof is of clasped side purlin construction and is possibly later. The ceiling in the bedroom over the former open-hall is supported on clamps pegged to the wall frame and indicating that the ceiling was inserted in C17. In early C18, a staircase was inserted in the service end of the original house. Closed string with turned balusters, square newels and moulded rails. The C17 service wing at the rear is also timber framed, plaster rendered, but the gable end wall is brick.
