Description

Three Pins is a house dating from the early 16th century or earlier. It features a timber frame with plaster and has a red plain tiled roof, which includes a gabled crosswing on the left side. The right return gable is adorned with bargeboards and a finial. The house has an off-centre chimney stack with three attached diagonal shafts. It is two storeys tall with attics, displaying a window arrangement of one window above another on the first floor and two sets of two windows on the ground floor, primarily consisting of three-light small paned casements. There is a 20th-century glazed door to the left. To the left, there is a small flat-roofed extension with one small paned vertically sliding sash window. At the rear, there is an early 19th-century extension and a gabled dormer that may include remnants of a 16th-century stair turret.
