Thaddeus

Thaddeus is a house and cottage dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 18th century, early 19th century, and 20th century. The building is timber framed, plastered, and weatherboarded, topped with handmade red plain tiles and slate. The main range consists of four bays facing south, featuring a central stack that has been altered to create two hearths with an entrance passage in between.

At the rear, there is a full-length two-storey extension from the 18th or early 19th century, which has a catslide roof but was raised in the 20th century to include a flat roof on the left end and a shallow slate roof on the right end. There is also an 18th-century rear wing near the right end, which has an axial stack. The building stands two storeys high and has a four-window range of 20th-century sash windows.

No. 21 features a four-panel door with one stone step, while No. 23 has a six-panel door, with four fielded panels and two glazed panels, set in an eared doorcase with rusticated pilasters, a pulvinated frieze, and a dentilled and moulded pediment, also with one stone step. The eaves cornice is moulded, supported by wrought iron gutter brackets. The stack was rebuilt above the roof in the 19th century, displaying a diaper pattern of black bricks on red bricks.

There is evidence of an underbuilt jetty in the bay to the left of the stack. Inside, there are chamfered transverse and axial beams, some with lamb's tongue stops, while others are unstopped. An 18th-century hearth faces to the left, featuring a curved interior, though the back was brought forward to create the passage. A 20th-century grate faces to the right, and much of the internal studding has been removed. The posts are jowled, with some jowls damaged.

In the front right corner, there is an early 19th-century corner cupboard with an arched head and profiled shelves, though the doors are missing. The rear lean-to contains an early 19th-century straight stair with turned newels, a mahogany handrail, stick balusters, and a closed string; the balustrade continues around both sides on the first floor. An early 19th-century half-glazed door with nine lights and crown glass leads into the rear wing. Other early doors on the first floor are of various types. The roof features clasped purlins with arched wind-braces in only one bay. No. 23 was known as Bucks until January 1987.
