Description

House. Dating from the 17th century, it was altered in the 18th and 19th centuries. The house is timber-framed, with plaster and roughcast rendering on parts of the exterior, and a roof of handmade red clay tiles. It has three bays facing southeast, with a central chimney stack forming a lobby-entrance. A red brick wing is at the left end of the rear, and a 19th-century lean-to extension is located to the right of it. A parallel range was added in the late 19th century at the rear right, extending to the right and roofed with slate, with a small 20th-century lean-to extension at the rear. The house has two storeys, a cellar, and an attic. On the ground floor, there are two 3-light casement windows with coloured glass margins and shallow canopies supported by scrolled brackets, dating from around 1900. The first floor has two similar casement windows, with a further window on the rear right range, and a central 2-light casement with a canopy. The central entrance has a 5-panel door, the top panel glazed, within an early 19th-century doorcase with an enriched frieze and a moulded flat canopy on scrolled brackets, forming a flat-roofed porch with glazed sides. A moulded cornice sits above, topped by a plain parapet. Mid-19th-century cast iron railings, with a design of linked loops inspired by French Renaissance motifs, form the boundary with the street, returning to the house at each end. An 18th-century 2-light window with a wrought iron casement and a twisted stay bar is found in the right attic gable of the main range. A half-glazed door with coloured glass margins is situated in the right projection of the rear range. Within a ground-floor room on the right, there is a chamfered axial beam and some exposed studding. Elsewhere, the timber frame is mainly concealed. Two 17th-century moulded 3-plank doors are present in the attic. The building was formerly known as Cockdrovers.
