Description

Number 1, also known as Tudor House, and part of Number 2, is a house dating from the mid-17th century. It features a timber frame with painted brick nogging and a plain tile roof. The building has a baffle-entry plan consisting of two framed bays and stands two storeys high with a gable-lit attic. The first floor jetties out, supported by moulded bressumers and shaped brackets. A central brick ridge stack has three square shafts and pilaster shafting.

The framing includes close studding with a middle rail, long straight tension braces, and square panels at the rear. The front has two windows, with 19th-century three-light wooden casements and small blocked windows on the first floor to the right and the ground floor to the left. The central 17th-century boarded door has strap hinges and is framed by a full-height central porch, which features a jettied gable with brackets and a lozenge-decorated bressumer, along with a small casement and decorative scrolls on either side.

On the first floor, there is a two-light 19th-century wooden casement with flanking vertical strips of four quatrefoil panels and two blind round arches beneath, both with carved spandrels. The round-arched entrance also has carved spandrels and central pendants. There is a small blocked first-floor window on the left-hand return front, along with two-light ground floor windows in the return front. Some of the porch decoration has likely been renewed, possibly in the 19th or 20th century.

The left-hand return front features a small 19th-century attic casement with a cusped apex in the frame above, a blocked first-floor window, and a ground floor 19th-century three-light wooden casement. The interior has not been inspected but is expected to be of interest, with pairs of purlins noted in the gable end. The first floor right-hand room is part of Number 2, Uppington.
