The Oak House

The Oak House is a 17th-century house that has undergone two or three phases of construction, with parts rebuilt in the 19th century and significantly refurbished in the 1970s. It features a timber frame with diagonal braces and brick infill, while the right bays have mostly been rebuilt in brick at the front. Some timbers were replaced during the 1970s. The house has a thatched roof with brick chimneys on either side of the central bay. It is one and a half storeys tall and consists of three bays, each with a slightly lower wall-plate as the house slopes down to the right. The windows are 20th-century barred wooden casements, mainly consisting of three lights, with a two-light window on the first floor to the left and a single light on the ground floor to the right. There is a blocked doorway with a segmental arch and a small single light between the right bays, along with a 20th-century door and a gabled timber porch at the left gable end.
