Appleby

This house in Appleby dates from the early 17th century and has undergone alterations and additions in the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. It features a timber frame with painted brick infill and replacement walling, along with brick additions and a plain tiled roof. The structure consists of two framed bays and has a large sandstone chimney with three diagonal brick shafts at the north gable end, which is now enclosed within a late 19th-century single-bay addition. There is also a 20th-century single-bay addition at the south gable end, both of which maintain the original roofline. The house is a single storey with an attic that includes dormers.

On the east elevation, irregular fenestration is present, primarily consisting of 20th-century leaded casement windows. The original section features a hipped-roofed, canted bay window and a three-light window on the ground floor, along with a gabled dormer that has a two-light window and a gabled timber-framed porch with a half-glazed 20th-century door. To the right, the late 19th-century addition has a ground-floor two-light window with a cambered head and a half-glazed 20th-century door beneath a lean-to canopy on brackets. The 20th-century part to the left includes two narrow lights with tiled weatherings, and there is a brick stack at the junction of the original and 20th-century roofs. The north gable end facing the lane has three-light windows on both the ground and first floors, each with a cambered head, and the ground-floor window is flanked by narrow lights. The main entrance is located in a 20th-century single-storey extension adjoining to the right.

Inside, the roof of the original part features two tiers of purlins and collar-and-tie beam trusses with two struts, and a central cross-frame survives. There is a large sandstone fireplace in the north bay of the original part, as well as a staircase with re-used 17th-century spiral balusters. This house was once part of the Vernon Estate.
