Description
The Timbers is a house dating from the 17th century, constructed with a timber frame and red brick infill, topped with an old clay tile roof. It features a three-room plan and stands two storeys high, with a two-storeyed porch that has either been rebuilt or added in the 20th century at the front. The front elevation includes three hipped dormers with windows above and below the wall plate, and the ground floor has windows in similar positions. All windows are 20th-century casements with diamond leading. The porch wing aligns with a red brick double ridge stack and has a door on the east side, along with a brick inscribed "T.C. 1692" set into the front. The east elevation has a rebuilt gable with pebbledash render and mock timber framing, and there is a 20th-century lean-to extension on the right-hand side. The rear elevation features a 20th-century projecting two-storeyed double-gabled block, which also has mock timber framing and colourwashed plaster infill.
