- II

Farmhouse, now 2 dwellings. C17 or earlier with C18 addition; altered.
Cruck frame with cladding and addition of brick, corrugated sheet roof
covering thatch, (slate roof on small higher addition). Linear 3-bay
baffle-entry plan, with 4th bay added at right hand end. One-and-half
storeys (addition 2 storeys); No.6, occuping the 1st 2 bays, is all
rendered and has altered openings, including a gabled ½ dormer to the 2nd
bay; No.4 has similarly altered openings including a small horizontal
rectangular window at 1st floor of the original 3rd bay (of the whole).
The principal feature of interest is the interior of No.6, which contains a
roughly-shaped firehood bressummer and 2 stopped chamfered beams of light
scantling; in the partition of the bays a full cruck truss mostly concealed
but with windbracing above the purlins visible at 1st floor; and between
the purlins at the chimney end an irregularly-shaped horizontal beam which
is probably the remains of a smoke hood.
