Description

Turners House is a 15th-century building that has been altered in the 16th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame with a plaster exterior and a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house has a two-bay hall that runs approximately north to south, with an integral parlour or solar bay to the south and a missing service bay. The main aspect is to the west.

There is a late 16th-century chimney stack in the rear wall of the south bay of the hall and an 18th or 19th-century chimney stack at the south end. A single-storey lean-to extension with an internal chimney stack is located at the north end and dates from the 20th century. The house is single-storey with attics and features a 20th-century door in a tiled gabled porch. There are two 20th-century casement windows, one 17th-century wrought iron casement window, and one late 16th-century fixed window with two ovolo mullions, all with diamond leading. Additionally, there is one gabled dormer with two 17th-century wrought iron casements.

Inside, the house has jowled posts, exposed studding with display bracing at the south end of the hall, and a late 16th-century inserted floor that includes a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops and plain joists of horizontal section. There are deep arch braces to the central tiebeam of the hall, which has been severed for a doorway. The crownpost roof features one square crownpost with four-way bracing and is smoke blackened. The ground floor hearth has been partly rebuilt, while the first-floor hearth retains its original depressed brick arch.
