Description
This is a row of four houses known as Number 1 (The Old House), 2, 3, and 4, dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and late 20th century. The houses are timber-framed with rendered infill on a rubble base, and some parts have been refaced in rubble and roughcast. They feature a stone-tiled roof laid in diminishing courses, with a rubble stack at the front ridge that has a pair of rendered diagonal shafts, as well as a large brick stack at the north end.
The layout is T-shaped, with the main range consisting of three framed bays aligned north to south, and a large chimney situated between the south and central bays. There is a cross-wing of three framed bays attached to the south end, which has an external rubble chimney with a rebuilt brick stack on its south side. The houses are mainly single-storey with an attic that includes dormers. The framing is exposed on the main range, showing three panels from sill to wall-plate, with short solid braces in some upper corners, and no trusses are visible.
On the west front elevation, Number 1 occupies the cross-wing, featuring a 20th-century ground floor four-light casement window and a three-light casement on the first floor. There are plank weatherings at the girding-beam, tie-beam, and collar level. A 20th-century single-storey porch wing is attached to the south-west, which has a two-light casement at its gable end and a half-glazed door in the angle.
Numbers 2, 3, and 4 are part of the main range. Number 2 has a ground floor three-light casement and an original gabled dormer with a tie-beam truss and cusped struts, along with a three-light casement; both windows feature plank weatherings. It also has a lean-to half-glazed porch and a half-glazed door. Number 3 includes a two-light ground floor casement and an original gabled half-dormer (similar truss to Number 4) with a two-light casement; both windows have plank weatherings. There is a 20th-century partly glazed door with a lean-to canopy on straight brackets. Number 4 features a two-light ground floor casement with a plank weathering, a 19th-century gabled dormer with a two-light casement, and a lean-to timber porch with side lights and a glazed 20th-century door.
