Oak House

Oak House, formerly known as Blyth and Pawsey Limited, is a house that dates back to the 16th century or earlier, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame, with sections that are partly plastered and partly clad in red brick laid in stretcher bond, and it is topped with a slate roof.

The structure consists of a two-bay hall range that runs northwest to southeast, featuring a large chimney stack at the northwest end, and a three-bay northwest crosswing that juts out to the southwest. There is a single-storey lean-to extension at the eastern angle. The house has two storeys and faces southwest.

On the ground floor, there are two four-panel doors with glazed upper panels and two splayed bays of double-hung sash windows with a configuration of two-four-two lights, all dating from the 19th century. The first floor has two double-hung sash windows with eight and four lights respectively, also from the 19th century, along with one casement window from the 20th century. Additionally, there is a false window with four lights in the gable of the crosswing. The front of the crosswing is plastered, while most of the rest of the building is clad in red brick. One of the bays is situated below the jetty and features a 19th-century cast iron stanchion.

Both roofs have a standard slate pitch. The southeast elevation shows the stubs of nine joists, eight of which are of horizontal section and original. The hall range has a transverse beam at the southeast end that is plain-chamfered with step stops. The hearths have been reduced for modern grates. The crosswing showcases jowled posts, some exposed studding, a cambered tiebeam, and a blocked first-floor doorway with an arched head featuring three-centred curvature, along with original rebated floorboards. The roofs above the tiebeam level have been rebuilt in the 19th century.

This house is the remaining part of a medieval or 16th-century structure that once extended to the southeast. It has been divided into two tenements and later combined.
