Description
Card's is a house dating from the late 15th century to early 16th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a red plain tiled roof that is hipped with gablets. The house features an off-centre right front red brick chimney stack and has a rear extension, along with a single storey garage extension to the right.
The building stands two storeys tall and has a three-window range of square leaded 20th-century casements. To the left, there is a 20th-century vertically boarded door, and a 20th-century red tiled gabled porch supported by carved brackets. The timber frame is virtually complete, consisting of three bays and a chimney bay, with main frame elements that are stop-chamfered and include jowled storey posts. The integral floor has centre tenons and soffit shoulders, with soffit tenons featuring diminished haunches for the later inserted hall on the first floor. The halved and bridled top plate scarfs are also notable. The roof structure includes three two-arm crown posts, and the house retains its original internal chimney stack and staircase with solid oak treads.
