Oak House

Oak House is a house dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed, mostly plastered, with some exposed framing, and has a roof covered with handmade red clay tiles. The house consists of three bays aligned north to south, with its main aspect facing east, and features external chimney stacks located behind the northern and southern bays. There is an extension beyond the northwest stack that dates to around 1600, along with two small extensions behind the middle range. The building is two storeys high and was originally jettied along the entire eastern elevation, although this is now underbuilt with lower frames of the same style.

The entrance features a four-panel door with glazed upper panels and a 20th-century tiled gabled porch. There are two ground floor and three first floor windows of 17th-century style, although they have been altered in the 19th century. The northern elevation displays exposed framing and includes two pairs of small original windows, each with an ovolo mullion and ovolo-moulded surrounds. A similar pair of windows is found in the upper eastern elevation of the northern wing, though these have been blocked externally. The front of the house has two gables.

Inside, the building features jowled posts, heavy studding with curved braces that are trenched to the inside, and plain joists of horizontal section. The northern ground floor room has an ovolo-moulded beam, while the northern first floor room has two walls lined with late 16th-century panelling. Numerous wrought iron casement windows are present, some in their original form and others altered in the 19th-century Tudor Revival style, featuring oblique saddle bars and introduced diamond glazing. There are also several other introduced components. Notably, there is a complete structural break between the southern wing and the rest of the house.
