Howe House

Howe House is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from around 1600, and possibly earlier. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior. The roof is made of clay pantiles, with some blue and black tiles, featuring a gabled end at the west and a hipped end at the east. The building has two storeys, with a single-storey stair lean-to at the back, also covered with clay pantiles, and an additional lean-to porch with peg tiles. There is an off-centre rectangular red brick ridgeline stack above the inglenook and a tall, thin stack that rises through the roof of the rear lean-to. The front of the house displays patches of old pargetting. The layout follows a baffle-entry plan type and includes jowled storey posts, halved and bladed scarf joints, and possible remnants of a parlour wall that may have been incorporated from an earlier structure.
