Nut Tree

Nut Tree is a house with origins dating back to the 16th century, featuring an exterior that was largely completed in the 17th century, along with early 20th-century additions and alterations. The building is timber framed and sits on a sandstone plinth, topped with a Cotswold slate roof and two brick chimneys. It has one and a half storeys, with the right-hand portion being original, although the upper part of the timber framing has been repaired. The central bay includes 5-light wood mullioned windows with iron casements, one of which is located in a barge-boarded gabled half dormer that has coving above the window and ornamental small panelling in the gable. The other openings are from the 20th century. To the left, there is an addition in brick and applied timber framing that features a terracotta plaque of the Stanley eagle. The interior has not been inspected, but it is reported to contain full cruck frames. R. Brunskill illustrated the house in "Houses Collins" in 1976 and suggested that it was originally open to the roof.
