Robin'S End

Robin’s End is a Rectory, now a house, dating from approximately 1735, built on the site of an earlier 17th-century building, with later 19th-century and circa 1930 additions. It is constructed of brick with a plain tiled roof, parapets, and brick stacks at the gable ends. The house is two storeys with an attic and a cellar, incorporating a chamfered plinth, a three-course band between the storeys, and a moulded eaves cornice to the front, alongside a dentilled eaves cornice at the rear. Five bays feature windows with gauged flat heads and 12-pane sashes. Two 20th-century hipped dormers have 2-light leaded casements. A two-storey gabled porch wing with a pediment sits in the central bay, with a 12-pane sash window on the first floor and a main entrance beneath a moulded architrave, a part-glazed door, and a transom light. The interior retains the original open-well staircase with a moulded handrail and slender balusters of alternating turned, spiral, and fluted design. Some original Georgian wallpaper survives in one ground floor room. Two wings, of similar scale, extend from the gable ends; the late 19th-century east wing has a gable end parapet, external chimney, and a ground floor 6-light casement and a first floor tripartite window with a cambered head and central 12-pane sash. Its rear elevation replicates this arrangement, with two ground and first floor 12-pane sashes with cambered heads. The circa 1930 addition to the west gable end also mirrors this rear elevation design. Adjacent to the 19th-century addition is a 17th-century single-bay timber-framed wing, a remnant of the previous building on the site.
