Molmans

Molmans is a house, dating from the 16th century, with extensions added in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of timber framing, now plastered, with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The original part of the house is a 3-bay crosswing, dating from the early 16th century and aligned roughly north-south, featuring an external chimney stack on its west wall, which is a 17th-century addition. To the east of the crosswing are three further bays, with a chimney stack in the middle bay, creating a lobby-entrance to the north, built around 1600. A rear wing, from the 19th or 20th century, is located opposite the chimney stack, with a garage block at its end.

The west crosswing is two storeys high, while the remainder of the house is two storeys with attics. The north elevation has a tiled, gabled porch, three casement windows, and four more on the first floor, all 20th-century replacements. The facade has two gabled features, each with a 20th-century casement window. Some timber framing is exposed internally. The west crosswing comprises two normal-length bays and a shorter bay to the south, likely originally containing a stair and ante-room. Jowled posts are present, along with arched braces to wallplates and tiebeams between the studs. Inside, a binding beam is plain chamfered with step stops. Evidence of former unglazed windows can be seen at first-floor level on both sides, although the eastern windows are now within an internal wall. Edge-halved and bridled scarfs are found in the wallplates. The roof structure is inaccessible.

Within the remainder of the house, axial beams are plain chamfered with lamb's tongue stops on both sides of the chimney stack at both levels. An original winding stair is located south of the stack, providing access to the attic, with a pitched roof on a north-south axis. To the east of the stack, tension braces are trenched inside the studs, and the roof is of clasped purlin construction. To the west of the stack, the roof is of joggled butt: purlin construction, and some original floorboards remain.
