Description
Maypole House is a house that dates from the 14th century, 16th century, and late 18th century, with restoration carried out in the late 20th century. It features a combination of brick and timber framing, topped with a hipped plain tiled roof. The house has a brick ridge chimney stack and an external brick stack on the right side. It is two stories tall, with the main front showcasing a central doorway that has a moulded and painted door surround supported by brackets and a flat hood. On either side of the doorway are single glazing bar sash windows. Above this, there is a decorative brick band, and further up, two more glazing bar sash windows are located at the eaves. The rear of the house includes lean-to additions and a late 20th-century conservatory.
Inside the rear wing, the original 14th-century timber framing is still visible. This part of the house was once the two-bay cross-wing of a hall house. The western half of the roof remains intact, featuring a central crownpost and tiebeam, although much of the eastern half was removed when the front was altered to a hipped design in the late 18th century. Some posts, sections of the walls, and a part of the ceiling with its joists are still preserved, though later decoration makes it challenging to determine the full extent of the surviving timber frame. Behind this former cross-wing, there is a 16th-century brick range with a large brick stack.
