Description
Old Timbers is a house dating from the early to mid-16th century. It features a timber-framed structure with weatherboarding and gabled plain tile roofs. There is a brick lateral stack on the left and a ridge stack on the right. The building has an open-hall plan with a cross-wing on the right, and a floor was inserted into the open hall in the 17th century.
The exterior is single storey with attics and has a two-window range. It includes a central plank door from the late 19th or early 20th century and two-light casements with glazing bars. The gable end of the cross-wing is complemented by a large gabled dormer added around 1900 to the front of the former open hall. There is also a 20th-century extension at the rear.
Inside, the original jowled storey posts from the former two-bay hall are still present. The two-bay cross-wing features a large bridging joist, common joists, jowled posts, and a simple collar-rafter roof.
