Description
26 and 28/30 Station Road is a house, now divided into two homes, dating from the 17th century or earlier. The front is faced in brick from the 18th century, with the eaves raised in the 19th century using different brick. The building is L-shaped, two storeys with an attic, consisting of three cells and an internal chimney with a lobby-entry plan. It faces west, with the chimney located a third of the way from the south end, and a narrow north wing that projects to the rear. There is a flat-roofed, two-storey rear extension to No. 26 at the south end.
The front features twin doors in a combined heavy frame with plank doors beneath a lean-to tiled canopy supported by curved brackets. Each floor has three 3-light flush casement windows with segmental arches on the ground floor, and there is a small window above the porch. Two tiny dormers are present on the roofslope. A Sun Insurance plaque is now displayed in No. 28/30.
Inside, the property has axial chamfered beams on both the ground and first floors, a winding stair located at the rear of the chimney, and fireplaces on each floor as well as in the attic. The chimney has three flues and is T-shaped, rising above the ridge. There is a separate stair in the north wing, which features a projecting rear gable and an 18th-century chimney that serves the ground floor only. The northern end of the building is roughcast.
