Description
The Sugar House and barn is a range of buildings from the 18th to 19th century that have been converted into a single tenement. It features a two-storey cottage that is timber-framed and plastered, with an adjoining outbuilding to the south-west, which is believed to have served as an early charity school and school house. The cottage has casement windows, a thatched roof, while the outbuilding has a pantiled roof. Additionally, there is an early 18th-century barn located at the street frontage to the west. This barn is also timber-framed and plastered in the upper part, with flint pebbles on the lower part. The gable walls of the barn have ventilation openings that are decoratively arranged but have been infilled with modern coloured glass. The barn has a slate roof.
