Old Idsall House

House. It was built in the late 16th century and altered in the 18th century. The house is timber-framed with close studding and rendered infill panels. Later brick additions are present, including underbuilding to the southwest, and it has an old tile roof with a catslide over the outshut to the rear. The original structure comprised one timber-framed bay, with a two-bay projecting cross wing to the left and a projecting early 18th-century gabled wing to the right, the latter incorporating a later 18th-century addition to its front. The house is two storeys high. The southwest side likely had a jettied first floor at one time. The gable to the right has a parapeted gable end. There are ridge stacks positioned off-centre to the left, in the angle of the right-hand wing, and at the ends of the left-hand cross wing, alongside two end stacks to the left-hand cross wing. A three-light C19 casement window is on the projecting first floor to the right, along with a three-light casement window on the ground floor to the right, and a C20 boarded door to the left. The right-hand wing features a flush-framed, segmental-headed glazing bar sash window on each floor and a lean-to addition to the left with a segmental-headed three-light casement in its return front. The left-hand cross wing has a glazing bar sash window on each floor, as does the right-hand return front; the lower window has a segmental head. The southwest front has three blocked first floor windows, a glazing bar sash window off-centre to the left, and a two-light leaded casement window to the far left. Two ground floor flat-topped, half-glazed canted bays flank a C20 half-glazed door off-centre to the left. Inside, there is likely C17 wainscot panelling in a ground floor room.
