House. C17, early C19 and some C20. Timber-framed, rendered
and pebble dashed, roofs hipped, peg-tiled with dormers.
U-plan comprising main range and 2 rear wings, early C19 off
centre stack towards S end and another at N end. C19 brick
lean-to at N end.
EXTERIOR: Facade, E elevation, 2 storeys and attic, 3 window
range, front door in line with stack, between windows 1 and 2
from S. Ground floor N-S 2 early C19 sash windows with side
lights and glazing bars, each 1x4, 4x4, 1x4 panes. C20 door
fully glazed with glazing bars, 2x5 panes. Door porch, C20
simple lean-to, peg-tiled with wooden posts, brick base C19
sash window with glazing bars, 4x4 panes. First floor three
C19 sash windows, glazing bars, 4x4 panes. Roof with 2 dormer
windows having hipped roofs. S one blocked with painted panes.
N one with old iron framed casements, latches and pulls. Rear
W elevation has wings projecting at N and S ends. N wing W end
has C19 sashes with glazing bars, ground floor 3x4 panes,
first floor one similar, horned sash 4x4 panes. S wall of N
wing C20 conservatory and simple boarded door battens to
outside. Central range ground floor C19 sash window with
glazing bars and horns, 4x4 panes. First floor two C20
casement windows. S wing W end two C20 small casement windows,
one on each floor. House now divided and door to S unit on S
end, C20 framed and boarded, upper glazing with glazing bars
and 3x2 panes.
INTERIOR framing considerably covered but principal floor
joists with lamb's tongue stops are exposed in most of the
house showing that the main range and S wing are of one build
and that it is probable that the N wing is also contemporary
as it has a butt side purlin roof, correct for the C17 and
which probably continues throughout the house. Attic ceiling
covers the evidence but the dormer window frames correctly
jointed and pegged to roof structure and also contemporary.
The early C19 work comprises the refenestration of the house
and internal partitioning, much of which remains with a small
amount of C20 alteration. Although all the fireplaces are now
renewed and central stack rebuilt the house retains a C17
3-celled lobby entrance plan and before C20 alteration doors
still led from the entrance lobby to each side (information
from tenant).
