Tan House

Tan House is a house dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of red brick with burnt headers, and features a timber frame that is both plastered and exposed. The roof is covered with red plain tiles. The building has two storeys and an attic, with lower ranges at the rear that form an L-shape.

On the west elevation, there is a wooden cornice with modillions at the eaves and exposed timber framing on the first floor. The doorway is located to the left of the center and is flanked by fluted pilasters and a Doric entablature. It features a five-panelled door and a rectangular fanlight above. To the left, there is a 19th-century hung sash canted bay window, and to the right, a sixteen-paned flush-framed hung sash window. The first floor has three twelve-paned hung sash windows, and there are three gabled casement dormer windows.

The south gable wall is made of red brick and includes a plinth, bands at the first floor and eaves level, and a parapet gable with a panelled brick chimney that has moulded brick at its junction.

Inside, the kitchen has moulded intersecting ceiling beams, and there are cased ceiling beams. The late 17th-century panelling has been reset, and there is bolection moulded panelling in the south room, along with a painted panel over the chimney piece that is a copy of C.D. Agar's portrait of Thomas Wentworth, the 3rd Earl of Strafford. The original staircase leads to the attics.
