Three Wells

Three Wells is a house dating from the late 16th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid to late 19th century and early 20th century. It features a timber-framed structure with brick infill, a tall plinth, and a plain tiled roof. The building is arranged in an L-plan, with the main range aligned northwest to southeast, consisting of three framed bays. The central bay is primarily occupied by a chimney that has a group of three square stacks with chamfered corners. There is also a timber-framed outshut at the northwest gable end and a two-framed bay rear range connected to the southeast bay, which has a chimney at the junction of the two ranges.

The main range is a single storey with an attic that includes dormers, while the rear range is two storeys high. The framing of the main range features two large square panels from the sill to the wall-plate, with collar and tie-beam trusses supported by two vertical struts to the collar. The rear range has two rows of small rectangular panels at the first-floor level, with the lower floor screened behind later extensions, except for the southeast elevation, which has brick replacement walling. The northwest gable end displays a collar and tie-beam truss with broad raking struts.

On the northwest front elevation, the ground floor has a window in each of the outer bays, both featuring plank weatherings, with the left window continuing across the window in the outshut. There are two gabled dormers, and all windows are 2-light casements. The main entrance is located in the left bay and has a gabled porch with a balustrade on a brick base and a ledged and battened door. The dormers, porch, and gable ends all have scalloped bargeboards, and there are attic lights in the gable ends. The southeast elevation of the rear range has a porch similar to that on the front elevation.

Inside, the main range includes large back-to-back fireplaces and stop-chamfered main beams. There is a 19th-century outshut at the rear gable end and a 20th-century single-storey extension in the angle between the two ranges. Historically, the house was divided into three dwellings, each with its own well.
