The Tile House (On North Corner With Kings Lane)

The Tile House, located on the northeast corner with Kings Lane, is a farmhouse that has been converted into a private residence. It dates from the 17th century or earlier and was altered and enlarged to the southeast in 1923, at which point it was renamed from Elm Tree Farm. The building features a timber frame with a roughcast ground floor and a tile-hung first floor, topped with steep old red tile roofs.

This two-storey house has four windows and faces west, set back from the road at a crossroads. The older section of the house is L-shaped, with a northeast rear wing and a large chimney at the junction of the two sections. The west range consists of three cells, with a narrow unheated bay that may have served as a parlour at the south end. The wide middle section, possibly a hall, is heated by an internal chimney at the north end, which leads into a cross-passage to the north behind the chimney.

The house displays axial beams and shows evidence of a possible continuous west front jetty. The front features three-light flush casement windows, with a one-light window on the left-hand side, and a square hipped bay window on the left on the ground floor. Inside, the property has chamfered beams with scroll stops.
