Description
Hawthorns is an 18th-century house that was altered in the 19th century. The front of the house is timber-framed and features a red brick facade laid in a Flemish bond pattern. The rest of the building is roughcast rendered and weatherboarded, with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. It has three bays facing southwest, with a central chimney stack creating a lobby entrance. A rear wing extends from the right side, with an external chimney stack at the end. A lean-to extension on the left rear forms a catslide roofline with the main range, using machine-made red clay tiles. A single-storey lean-to extension is located at the left end.
The facade, dating from the early 19th century, features a four-window range of late 19th-century sash windows set within original openings and topped with flat brick arches. One similar window is in the left extension. The central entrance has a six-panel door, with the top two panels glazed, within a simple doorcase featuring fluted pilster strips. The timber frame shows primary straight bracing. The roof interior appears to be ceiled with collars and side purlins. Some original floorboards remain, and there are two wood-burning hearths, altered in the 20th century to accommodate grates.
