Tudor Cobwebs

Tudor Cobwebs is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th and late 18th centuries. The timber frame is mostly plastered, but remains are exposed at the south end, with traces of pargeting in the middle of the front elevation. The south wing has a brick underbuild, and the north wing is cased in brick which has been painted. The house has steep hipped roofs covered with old red tiles.

It’s a long, irregular late medieval building facing west, originally with a three-unit plan. A large chimney is centrally located, roughly a third from the north end. Another central chimney is exposed where a rear wing has been shortened. The south wing is unusually wide, and the middle room is quite narrow. The west front has four windows. The south wing has a two-light and a three-light leaded casement window on the first floor. Below are two flush box sash windows with ten/ten panes, and a six-panel flush beaded door in a moulded surround with a flat hood, adjoining the right-hand window. A black stucco plinth is visible. The north wing is faced in brick, with a floor band and dentil eaves, and has a two-light leaded casement window on each floor, the lower with a deep segmental arch. The centre of the front has a three-light leaded casement window above a lean-to, tiled, enclosed porch with a four-light leaded window and a battened door.
