Description
Sweet Echoes is a house, now divided into two houses, dating from around 1700 with 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of brick and has a pantile roof. The building is L-shaped in plan, featuring a three-room front with an entrance hall to the right of the center and a two-room wing at the rear right. The structure stands two storeys tall and has four bays.
The building has a chamfered plinth and is largely rendered. The third bay projects forward and features an unsympathetic 20th-century recessed glazed door beneath a flat arch, with a narrow 20th-century single-light window to the right. To the left, there are two windows; one is beneath a stucco flat arch and the other beneath a painted flat arch. To the right, there is an inserted 20th-century bow window and door (No 65). A four-course band runs along the first floor with a projecting chamfered top course.
On the first floor, there is a small four-pane stair window to the left, and 20th-century casements in the original openings with flat arches. All windows, except for the stair-light, are unsympathetic 20th-century replacements. The building features a modillion brick eaves cornice and raised brick-coped gables with shaped brick kneelers. There is an axial stack with a brick band and corbelled cornice, along with an end stack to the right.
The rear wing (No 67) has a two-course brick first-floor band and unsympathetic 20th-century windows. Inside, the ground floor has beamed ceilings with exposed joists in the right and center left rooms. The center left room features a partly rebuilt inglenook fireplace with an arched chamfered brick recess. The roof is constructed with pegged oak collared rafters and clasped purlins.
