Description

Number 32 is a house with an attached barn, dating from the 16th century. The house features timber framing, with basketwork panelled pargetting on the first floor and weatherboarding on the ground floor, topped by a steep thatched roof that is hipped at the north. The barn is also weatherboarded and has a steep pitched roof, which is now covered in black corrugated iron.

The house is two storeys tall with two windows, facing west, and has lower front eaves on the right. The barn, which is of equal height and width, extends to the right (south) and includes a projecting front outshut with a catslide roof. The house has flush casement windows, a shallow canted bay window on the left, and a four-panelled flush beaded door with a moulded architrave, a hood board supported by brackets, and an open rustic porch. A red brick chimney is located at one end.

Inside, the house features a wide open fireplace with a wooden lintel, four-panel doors, exposed beams and joists in the north room, and exposed timbers on the upper floor. The barn contains jowled posts, tension braces, and remnants of wattle and daub infill.
