Description
Nos 70 and 72 on Station Road are 17th century, tall T-shaped timber framed houses with a cross wing (No 72) that is now subdivided. They feature a large internal chimney stack that rises through the rear slope of the old red tile roof at the junction with the cross wing. There is a pantiled lean-to against the west gable end, which is weatherboarded above. The north front is weatherboarded at the ground floor and plastered above. The ground floor of the cross wing has recently been plastered, and a small tiled porch has been added. Each floor has two wide spaced small windows with two-light flush wooden casements. There is an off-centre plank door to the east with a drip board over on shaped brackets. The cross wing has one window central to each floor below boxed verges to the gable, with a door at the next east corner. This is the oldest house in a picturesque group on the south side of the road.
