Wheatsheaf House

Wheatsheaf House is a house with a complex history, dating to the early 16th century, with additions from the later 16th or early 17th century. The main range of the house has an earlier core, and internally reveals cruck framing. It is rendered and has a plain tiled roof, with renewed casement windows on each floor. A large axial stack has a stone base, and another sits on the right-hand gable. The cross wing was built in the late 16th or early 17th century and is constructed with flamboyant timber framing and brick nogging. This utilizes a post and truss construction, featuring angle posts on padstones and a middle rail. The cross wing has a coved and jettied gable above a close-studded first floor. The tie beam is painted with Tudor roses in the spandrels, and the gable itself is decorated with lozenges and other decorative panels. A doorway is located to the left of the cross wing, next to an early 20th-century canted bay window with leaded lights; a single renewed casement window is above. The side elevation displays two wide arch-braced bays with close studding, above a ground floor of ironstone rubble, and includes one original cavetto moulded mullioned window.
