Description
Nos. 69 and 70 is a farmhouse that has been divided, likely dating from the 17th century with a mid-19th century addition. The building features a rendered timber frame and a rendered addition, probably built over brick, topped with a plain tile roof. It has two framed bays and a Tudor Gothic addition to the northeast, forming a T-plan. The structure is two storeys tall with an attic.
The external brick end stacks have square shafts and oversailing tops, and there is a brick ridge stack at the rear of the earlier wing, also with an oversailing top. The front has two windows, featuring wooden cross windows with moulded architraves and returned hoodmoulds. The central entrance is a six-panelled door, with the top four panels raised and the bottom two flush, accompanied by a three-part rectangular overlight, moulded architrave, and cornice.
On the rear wing's northwest front, there are two gabled full dormers with two-light 20th-century casements and plain barge boards. The first floor has three windows, including a mid-19th century paired glazing bar sash to the right with a dripmould, and one-and three-light 20th-century wooden casements to the left. The ground floor features a mid-19th century three-light wooden casement off-centre to the left with a returned hoodmould, and a 20th-century two-light wooden casement to the right. There is a door between the windows off-centre to the right, which has six flush panels (the top two are glazed), a plain architrave, and cornice, along with a 20th-century half-glazed door to the left.
Inside No. 69, there are roof trusses and purlins, and the attic staircase has a chamfered newel post with a globe finial. The ground floor includes a late 18th or early 19th century corner buffet and two-panelled doors from the 18th or 19th century. The original layout is preserved, with the stack backing onto a cross passage. In No. 70, there is a mid-19th century dog-leg staircase with rectangular-section balusters, a moulded ramped handrail, and a turned bottom newel post.
