Elizabethan House

This is an Elizabethan house, built around 1660 in a style known as Fen Artisan Mannerism, with later alterations from the late 18th century and 20th century. The house is constructed of red brick with a pantile roof, raised brick coped gables, and single wall construction, featuring brick ridge stacks. It is two storeys high with a garret, and has a gabled street frontage of two bays. The front exhibits two stepped, projecting brick string courses adorned with pendants that terminate in lozenges on the first floor. Above, in the garret, are single pilasters on either side of a central window, supporting a further dentilated string course. The gable itself features three large lozenges with concave sides and dentillations. The ground floor has two glazing bar sashes, while the first floor has a pair of similar windows; the right-hand window has a circular pendant beneath the sill. A single, similar window is located in the garret. All windows are topped with segmental, gauged brick arched heads. To the right of the main house is a two-storey, single-bay extension with a pent roof and tumbled gables, featuring glazing bar sashes on both floors, the upper one being a sliding sash. Further decorative brickwork is present on the sides and rear of the building, and a 20th-century extension is situated at the back. The interior has been substantially altered, but retains a moulded beam with stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
