Old Porch House

Old Porch House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 16th century, with the north front re-faced in the mid-18th century, along with later additions and alterations. The building is timber framed, sitting on a rendered plinth with plaster infill, and features a roughcast brick north front and plain tile roofs. Originally designed in an L-shape, it has a hall with three framed bays and a two-bay cross-wing that projects to the west. The north side of the cross-wing was rebuilt in brick during the 18th century, and there is a late 19th-century gabled brick addition, as well as a low flat-roofed extension from the late 20th century in the angle between the two sections.

The house is two storeys high with attics. The framing has been largely renewed in the late 20th century, displaying three irregular square and rectangular panels above a girding beam, with close-set vertical posts below and long and short straight tension braces. An open gabled two-storey porch, likely from the mid-17th century, is located on the east side of the hall range. This porch also features close-set vertical posts and a jettied gable supported by carved corner brackets, with splat balusters on the sides.

The three-bay north front has late 20th-century glazing bar sash windows that replaced earlier sash windows, with those on the ground floor set in canted bays linked by a verandah that includes a central late 20th-century French window. Gabled dormers are present in the roof slope on both the left and right sides, and there is a dentilled eaves cornice. A red brick ridge stack with twin diagonal shafts and moulded capping is located on the hall range, along with a prominent external stack on the right gable end of the north front. Above the door in the 17th-century porch, there is a Salop Fire Insurance plate numbered 14076. The interior could not be inspected during the re-survey in 1985, but it is likely to be of interest.
