35, Grape Lane

No. 35 Grape Lane is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the 17th century or earlier, with alterations. It features a cruck frame with handmade brick cladding, rendered, and a thatched roof with brick gable chimneys. The building has three bays, with modern extensions added to the rear and the right end. The gable faces the road. It is one and a half storeys high, with a door located at the left end, four 3-light casements on the ground floor, and dormer casements with 2 and 4 lights in the eaves.

Inside, there are two full cruck trusses. The first truss has a large cambered tie-beam (partly severed), wattle-and-daub infilling, a central post with mortices for the lintels of two doors, and windbracing. The second truss is similar but features angle struts, small dorsals, lacks windbracing, and has punched wedge-shaped carpenter's marks. The rear wall, at the junction with the addition, includes a timber wallplate with vacant housing for posts and wattling, indicating that the house was once entirely timber-framed.
