Oxley House

Oxley House is a shop, incorporating a 15th-century cross-wing and two ranges dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. The building is timber framed and faced with yellow stock brickwork, which is painted on the front, rear, and north side. It has red clay tile hipped roofs. The main building has two storeys. The parallel wing has a three-window front and a modern shop front, while the cross-wing’s south flank has a four-window front with a door, all windows now blocked. There is one truncated chimney stack on the cross-wing and one on the rear of the parallel wing. Internally, a significant portion of the roof timbers of the cross-wing survive, including a cross-quadrate crown post. It is likely that the cross-wing was originally gabled, rather than hipped as it is today.
