Description
House located at 114 Kynaston Road, dating from the late medieval period and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed, weatherboarded, and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house features a 2-bay hall facing southwest, with a late 16th-century stack in the right bay against the rear wall, and a parlour or solar bay to the left. The service bay to the right has been demolished, and its site is now occupied by a lean-to shed. There is a 19th-century two-storey extension at the rear of the left end and a single-storey lean-to extension in the rear angle. The building is one storey with attics. On the ground floor, there are two 20th-century casement windows, while the first floor has three 19th-century horizontally sliding sash windows with 12 lights. A plain boarded door is set in a 20th-century timber-framed gabled porch.
Inside, the house has jowled posts and heavy studding with curved display bracing that is trenched into the studs of the 'high end' of the hall. The rear wallplate features an edge-halved and bridled scarf, along with a shutter rebate for the main hall window. The hall has a late 16th-century inserted floor with a chamfered axial beam that has lamb's tongue stops, and joists that are plastered on the soffits, supported by pegged clamps that have been raised twice to accommodate rising ground levels. The solar floor consists of longitudinal joists of horizontal section that have also been raised for the same reason. The mantel beam of the inserted stack is chamfered with lamb's tongue stops, and the hearth has been reduced for a coal-burning grate. Both internal tiebeams are missing, and the front wall has been raised approximately 0.5 metres, resulting in a roof with unequal pitches.
