Description
No. 36 High Street, Church Cottage, and Garden House, formerly The Falcon public house, is a house dating from the 17th century and earlier. It was used as a public house from the 18th century and converted into three residences in the 1970s.
The building is constructed with a timber frame, with a brick west front and slate and tiled roofs. The plan is an evolved ‘L’ shape, featuring a rear (north) yard and outbuildings which are not visible.
The two-storey west-facing facade (No. 36 High Street) has a catslide roof. The central ground floor entrance is a two-leaf door with carved detailing beneath a scrolled stucco hood, flanked by semi-hexagonal bay windows with small-paned sashes. The first floor has three small-paned sash windows set within key-stoned stucco arches.
The rear range (Church Cottage and Garden House) displays a 17th-century exposed timber frame with close-studding and straight bracing, built upon an early 15th-century ground storey frame, which has an underbuilt jetty. The hipped roof is tiled and has overhanging eaves. The ground floor has three semi-hexagonal bay windows with peg-tiled conoid roofs and modern sash windows, two modern pedimented entrance doors centrally and to the right (east), and a door with a pent roof to the left (west). Four modern sash windows are located on the first floor.
The interior has not been inspected.
