Description
Teme House is an early 19th-century house, with 20th-century alterations and remaining elements from the late medieval period. The house is built of brick, incorporating remnants of a cruck frame construction and a tile roof. It is two storeys high, with three casement windows on the ground floor and four on the first floor. A doorway is located to the right of the first ground floor window; a doorway to its right and another to its left have been blocked. The roof is hipped on the left-hand side, and a chimney is situated to the right of the second ground floor window.
Inside, the middle room on the ground floor contains an inglenook fireplace and two stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. Three cruck trusses remain. The right-hand (eastern) truss has blades visible only on the ground floor. The western truss is visible on the first floor and includes a collar, tie-beam, and outriders. The middle truss, visible on the first floor, appears to be the central truss of an open hall; it has an arch-braced collar with a brace cut through by a later doorway. Above the collar is a king-strut that terminates at a yoke below the apex, along with two raking struts. Part of the collar is smoke-blackened. Towards the east on the first floor, knee-braces which support a purlin were inserted during the construction of the brick front wall and when the eaves were raised.
