Lanterns

Lanterns is a house, originally two houses, dating from the early 15th century and 17th century. It is timber framed and plastered, featuring clay peg tile roofs. The building consists of two major blocks with different ridge heights, hipped to the northeast and half-hipped to the southwest. It has two storeys, with a single-storey 20th-century garage block at the southwest end. The front elevation includes a 20th-century enclosed porch with a low-pitched gabled peg tile roof. The windows are 20th-century leaded light casements. The northwest end bay is a former crosswing with a hipped rear roof, which was originally jettied and has massive jowled posts, a crown post roof without any form of bracing, and floor joists with tenons near the soffits. The other parts of the structure feature fairly basic 17th-century framing with unjowled posts.
