Description
Jonathans is a house that has been divided into two cottages, dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed and has a roughcast render, topped with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. It features four bays facing southeast, an axial stack at the left end, and a 19th-century external stack at the right end. The structure is one storey high with attics. On the ground floor, there are four 20th-century casements, and three additional casements are located in gabled dormers. The entrance for No. 2 has a 20th-century door, while No. 3 has a plain boarded door at the front of a lean-to porch. The building retains original sprockets below the eaves, chamfered axial beams, plain joists with a horizontal section, jowled posts, arched rising braces at the corners, and heavy studding. There is also an original ledged door with Z-rebated boards in the left end wall, which is now fixed.
