Description
Adam's Well is a lobby-entrance house dating from the late 17th century, with extensions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is timber-framed, plastered, and has a pantiled roof. It consists of four bays aligned northwest to southeast, featuring an original double-hearth chimney stack located in the chimney-bay, which is the second bay from the northwest. This forms a lobby-entrance, although the original door is now blocked. There is a 19th-century chimney stack at the southeast end. The house was extended to the southeast by one bay in the late 19th or early 20th century, with a rear extension added to this bay in 1975, and another extension to the northwest in 1983. The building has two storeys and includes stop-chamfered beams in the first and third bays from the northwest, with a plain beam in the southeast bay. It features straight tiebeams and unjowled posts. Above the northwest mantel beam, there is a short post supporting an axial floor beam, which bears the inscription 'TW 1744'. Originally divided into cottages in the 19th century, the house has since been re-combined into a single dwelling.
