Description
King Alfred's House is a house that may date from around 1616 or earlier, with some 18th-century alterations. It features an exposed and plastered timber frame, with thatched and plain tile roofs. The building has a tall 17th-century red brick ridge stack and an 18th-century end stack on the right side, which has been partially rebuilt.
The house is two storeys high, with a one-storey kitchen range on the left that has an inserted 18th-century floor. There is a boarded door located in the lobby entry position, along with three large 20th-century casement windows and two first-floor casement windows. Notably, there are two original small fixed-light ovolo-moulded windows on the south-east and north-east facades.
Inside, the house features stop-chamfered ceiling beams, an exposed timber frame, and a large stack dated 1616 on the bressumer above the main hearth, which includes openings for a baking oven in the kitchen hearth.
