Snells

Snells is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the 16th century and earlier. It has two storeys and is constructed of timber framing with plaster. The roofs are covered with clay peg tiles. The building has an H-plan layout, featuring unjettied crosswings at both the north and south ends, along with a 20th-century rear extension that has a peg tile roof and a large gabled dormer. The front of the house includes a large gabled dormer in the unraised hall roof and a very tall 'L' plan chimney stack that is off-centre on the ridgeline.

The windows are predominantly wide leaded light casements from the 20th century, although there is one blocked diamond mullioned window on the first floor. The north elevation displays exposed framing with blocked windows, cranked braces, and a halved and bridled scarf joint. The crosswings feature soffit tennoned floor joists and are believed to date from the early 16th century. The hall is older and has a crown post roof with thin bracing, likely from the 16th century as well. Originally, one bay of the hall was floored and is supported by a stretcher beam at the first floor level, with only one bay of the roof showing signs of being soot blackened. The north crosswing served as the solar or parlour end of the house.
