Description

This is a house, dating to around 1600, with alterations from the 18th century. It is timber framed and has plaster walls, covered by a roof of handmade red clay tiles. Originally it had three bays facing southeast, with a central chimney stack which creates a lobby-entrance. There are two shorter, parallel ranges built to the rear, one to the right and one to the left. The range to the right was added in the 18th century and has an internal chimney at the right end. The range to the left dates to the late 18th or early 19th century. A short section at the right end of the main range has been partitioned off to form the entrance and stairwell of the adjoining property, number 115 (Alma Cottage). The house has two storeys. The ground floor has a large casement window, likely from the 20th century and originally a shop window, and one sash window from the early 19th century with 16 lights. The first floor has three sash windows from the early 19th century, with 4+8, 3+6, and 4+8 lights respectively. A 20th-century door is set within a doorcase with fluted jambs, a frieze incorporating triglyphs and geometrical carving, and a pediment. There is a plain parapet at the top of the facade. The roof is hipped at the left and rear left. The rear elevation of the right-hand range features a late 18th century three-light casement window with modern glazing on the ground floor, and a late 18th century two-light casement window with rectangular leading on the first floor. The interior is mainly plastered. A jowled post is located at the rear left corner of the main range. In the rear wall of the upper room on the left side, exposed studding is visible, along with a blocked, unglazed window containing three diamond mortices. Two small original wall paintings remain on the front wall of the same room, each with a stencilled design in grey on a white background, depicting an arcade in dull green. The roof is a clasped purlin roof.
