Lightfoots

Lightfoots is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The house has three bays facing northeast, featuring a stack located one bay from the left end against the rear wall, which creates a lobby-entrance. There is a single-storey extension added to the rear of the middle bay in the 20th century. The building is one storey high with attics, and it has three 20th-century casement windows on the ground floor, along with two additional casements in gabled dormers, all of which are diamond leaded. A 20th-century door is set in a gabled porch. Inside, there are jowled posts, straight braces to tiebeams, and straight rising braces at the corners inside the studs. The chamfered axial beams include one made from a reused tiebeam, with plain joists of vertical section. A large wood-burning hearth faces to the right and shows some 20th-century repair work. The 20th-century rear extension features a reused 16th-century beam with folded leaf carving, as well as reused 16th-century joists that have ogee mouldings and foliate stops.
