Description
Lion Field is a 16th-century house with timber framed construction, featuring mainly colour washed plaster infill, and a colour washed rough cast ground floor on the road elevation. It has an old clay tile roof and a three-room plan, with two storeys and attics. Most windows are three-light windows with wood mullions and leaded lights. The red brick ridge stack is partly rebuilt but retains its original base with ovolo cornice moulding. The south gable end attic is weatherboarded, and the rear elevation has three gabled dormers, one of which breaks through the eaves. There is a 19th-century two-storeyed red-brick extension on the north gable end.
