Description
No. 1 Barley Road is a pair of cottages that have been converted into a house. They date from the 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, with weatherboarding up to the sill height of the first-floor windows on the main elevation, which is painted. It features a thatched half-hipped roof and a rectangular red brick ridge stack. The building is two storeys high and was originally designed as a handed pair with a two-unit plan, although the street entrances have been blocked. An inserted 20th-century entrance with a panelled door is located in a pedimented doorcase. The east gable outshut, built in the 19th century, has been rebuilt with a plain tiled roof that replaces the original pantiles. There are five ground floor and four first floor three-light casement windows with leaded lights. The building may have originated after the village fire of 1798.
