Description
This is a lobby-entrance house, dating from around 1600, with a 20th-century extension. The house is timber-framed and has been plastered, with a tiled roof. It comprises four bays aligned roughly north-south, featuring an axial chimney stack in the chimney and entrance bay, which is the third from the north. A contemporary single-storey wing extends to the rear of the north bay. A single-storey, flat-roofed extension was added in the 20th century to the rear angle. The front facade has a two-window range of 20th-century metal casements with louvred shutters. A gabled, tiled porch provides access to the front, and it contains a six-panel door which has been blocked internally to create a small study. The chimney stack has grouped diagonal shafts. Some timber framing is visible internally, along with curved tension braces trenched to the inside of the studs. The structure includes jowled storey posts and stop-chamfered beams. The original roof is a clasped purlin construction, incorporating reused smoke-blackened medieval rafters. The north side of the chimney stack was cut back in the 19th century to form a smaller chimney.
