Timbers

This is a timber-frame house, with origins in the early to mid-16th century for the northern part, and a rebuild of the southern part in the mid-17th century. A late 18th-century hipped roof extension was added to the south, and a northern extension was constructed in 1931. The house is timber-framed with a brick sill and red brick infill panels. The north gable has roughcast rendering, and the roofs are covered in steep old red tiles.

The building is two storeys with an attic and cellar, presenting a west-facing front with single-storey extensions to the north and south. The original northern section, with its attic and cellar, initially served as an unheated parlour block, linked to a hall to the south. This hall was replaced in the 17th century by a front-jettied two-storey block of matching floor and roof height. The west front displays exposed timbers on both floors, featuring two long, flush, five-light casement windows with leaded glass on each level. The northern half of the house uses heavier, wider uprights and heavy bull-nosed joists. A curious junction of jetty beams is located in the middle of the building. The southern part demonstrates slighter timbers and plain, squared joists. The bottom plate of the wall extends south of the centre, where the hall once stood, meaning a prominent face of the north block faces south, overlooking the former hall. A large external chimney on the south gable was later fitted with a flue to serve the upper floor of the southern part, while a later northern gable chimney serves the parlour.

The interior features chamfered spine beams with run-out stops in the north part. There is an axial floor beam and a stair trap trimmed by joists in the northeast corner. Remnants of wall paintings dating to around 1600 are found below the rear staircase, comprised of lozenge-shaped geometric panels containing fleurs-des-lis.
