Description
Nos. 21 and 24 are likely originally one house, now divided, dating from the mid-17th century with alterations and additions from the mid- to late 19th century. The building is timber framed with painted brick nogging on a brick plinth, featuring red and painted brick partial rebuilding and probable partial refacing, along with rendered brick additions. It has plain tile roofs and is arranged in an L-plan. The former hall range consists of four framed bays aligned north-east to south-west, with a flush cross-wing of two framed bays to the south-west. The structure is one storey and attic, with two storeys in the cross-wing.
The north-west front has an off-centre brick ridge stack to the right and integral brick end stacks to the left and at the rear of the cross-wing. The framing displays square panels (three and four from sole-plate to wall-plate) with short straight corners and tension braces. The gable end to the north-west features decorative parallel diagonal framing that forms lozenge patterns, along with an exposed collar and cambered tie-beam truss with queen struts.
The front has four windows, with 19th and 20th-century one- and two-light wooden and metal casements. There are 19th-century gabled semi-dormers in the centre and to the left. A 17th-century boarded door is located between the second and third windows from the left, which is sheltered by a 19th-century gabled brick porch that has a dentil brick eaves cornice, a round archway, and segmental-headed side openings. The left-hand gable end contains two blocked 17th-century windows, and there is a 20th-century six-panelled door to No. 21 in the north-east front of the cross-wing at the rear.
Inside No. 24, the hall range features a chamfered cross-beamed ceiling, chamfered posts and wall-plates, a 17th-century chamfered fireplace lintel, and 17th-century boarded doors, some with chamfered four-centred surrounds. There is a painted decorative 17th-century plaster wall panel in the ground-floor room to the left. In the cross-wing, there are chamfered curved tie-beams, windbraces, and chamfered purlins, along with a 19th-century cast iron kitchen range.
