Description

Cabbaches is a house that dates back to the 15th century, with alterations made in the 16th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is plastered and has a roof covered with handmade red clay tiles. The house has a two-bay hall that faces east, which includes a late 16th-century axial stack in the left bay. There are two two-bay crosswings, with a 19th-century external stack on the right return wall. At the rear of the right crosswing, there is a single-storey extension. The crosswings are two storeys tall, while the hall range is one storey with attics. On the ground floor, there are two 20th-century casement windows and one 20th-century square bay window. The first floor has three 20th-century casements, including one in a gabled dormer. The front features a door within a 20th-century porch that has a catslide roof. The house also has three linked octagonal shafts that have been rebuilt, and early 20th-century carved bargeboards adorn both gables and the dormer.
