Description
Temple End House is a house dating from around 1600, with a bay added on the left-hand side likely rebuilt in the late 18th or early 19th century. It is timber-framed and rendered, with a roof that is partly long straw thatch and partly pantiles. The ridge stack is 18th century and constructed of narrow gault bricks. The house was originally planned with three bays and a lobby entry. It has two storeys and originally four windows at the first floor, with small panes of glass. There are now four larger horizontal sliding sash windows and a 20th-century brick porch opposite the stack.
Inside, substantial timber framing with close centres is visible in the central and right-hand end bays. The joists in the end bay are unmoulded and laid flat. The posts are jowled at the heads, and there is curved downward bracing in the partition wall between the central bay and the right-hand end bay.
