Description
This house, located at 1 High Street, dates from around 1610 and features a timber frame that is plastered and weatherboarded, with a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. It has three bays and a chimney-bay facing south, although the original entrance has been blocked. There is an 18th-century external stack at the left end of the building, along with 19th and 20th-century rear extensions. The front has a three-window range of early 20th-century leaded casements, which includes two splayed bays topped with hipped roofs made of red tiles. A 19th-century gabled porch with bargeboards and pendants also has a red plain tile roof. The main frame of the house features stop-chamfered spine beams. Some original doors are still in place, complete with cockshead hinges. Historical records show that the house was divided into tenements by 1618 and remained that way for two centuries before being re-combined in 1852.
