Oak House And Attached Outbuilding

Oak House is a timber-framed house with an attached outbuilding, dating from the 16th century, although it may have earlier origins. It underwent alterations in the mid-19th century and the 20th century. The outbuilding dates from the 17th century. The house is constructed with a timber frame, painted brick infill, and a sandstone rubble plinth, topped with a Welsh slate roof. It has two bays aligned east to west, with a cross-wing extending to the east. An axial stack features two tall, roughcast diagonal plan shafts. The house is two storeys high, with the upper floor jettied on three sides. A moulded bressummer, supported by curved brackets springing from shafted wall-posts, runs along the front. The ground floor has two two-light casement windows and a pair of three-light casement windows. A canted bay window is located to the left of a projecting gabled porch featuring a four-panelled door, and another canted bay to the right. The gable end of the cross-wing has a three-light casement window. A later lean-to addition has a three-light 20th-century window and a six-panelled door to the right. The attached outbuilding, to the rear of the main house, has a raised roof line with lozenge framing in the gable.
