Description
This is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 18th and early 19th centuries. It is timber framed with plaster infill, and has a roof covered in handmade red plain tiles and slate. The original structure comprises two bays facing northwest, with a 19th-century stack at each end. To the left is a single-story extension added in the early 19th century, with attics, and at the rear is a single-story wing and a two-story lean-to extension to the right.
The main block's ground floor has two 18th or early 19th-century sash windows of 12 lights each. The first floor has two early 19th-century sashes of 3+6 lights, some of which contain crown glass. A half-glazed 4-panel door is set within an early 19th-century doorcase featuring a heavily reeded architrave and decorative paterae, panelled jambs and soffit, and a moulded flat canopy. A moulded cornice sits above, and the building is finished with a plain parapet. The roof is tiled.
The left extension has two early 19th-century sash windows of 16 lights on each floor, also with some crown glass, and a half-glazed 4-panel door with flush lower panels. It has a low-pitched slate roof. The rear elevation has a ground-floor sash of 16 lights, a half-glazed door, and first-floor sashes of 3+6 lights, all dating to the early 19th century. The depth of the doorcase probably suggests an underbuilt jetty.
Inside, a room accessible through this rear door features a moulded axial beam, a 20th-century grate, and an inserted partition to the rear. Further along, a 1 1/2-flight staircase from the early 19th century has a wreathed handrail, stick balusters encircling a cast iron newel, and scrolled ends to the treads. A ground-floor room to the right has a boxed axial beam, a 20th-century grate and surround in an 18th-century style, and only the rear girt is exposed. On the first floor, the studded wall between the bays is visible on both sides, showing trenched 'Suffolk' braces and jowled posts. Approximately 1.50 metres of the tiebeam has been replaced. Two blocked 19th-century grates have been altered into cupboards. A blocked original window with a shutter groove above is found near the front of the right wall. Early 19th-century semi-elliptical arches lead through the central wall and into the left extension. The roof of the main block was rebuilt in the 19th century.
The left extension contains a 20th-century grate on the ground floor, and in a cupboard on the first floor is an original rack of 5 turned pegs, likely used for hanging clothing.
