Providence House

Providence House is a house dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century and a narrow lean-to added, along with a small single-storey eastern extension in 1979. The building is long, two storeys high with an attic, and features four windows. It has a white plastered exterior facing south, with a gable end towards the street. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped by a long red-tiled gabled roof. There is an external west gable chimney and the ground floor is cased in painted brick.

Originally, the house had a three-unit layout with a central chimney and a lobby entry plan, featuring a parlour on the west side and a service room on the east. In the early 19th century, the chimneystack was removed, merging the service room into the middle room and creating a spacious entrance hall with a new staircase in the former chimney's location. This hall has a pair of doors leading to new shallow lean-to service rooms at the rear. A small fireplace was added to the east end with a chimney at the southeast corner, and an external gable chimney was added to heat the parlour.

The roof features clasped purlins with thin timbers and high-set chamfered purlins at the east end to accommodate an attic room. The asymmetrical south front has Yorkshire sliding casements on the first floor and two square bay windows with casement lights. The hipped tiled roofs extend over a four-panel flush beaded door, supported by shaped brackets for an earlier hood. Inside, there is a stop-chamfered axial beam in the parlour, and a chamfered axial beam that extends through the rest of the ground floor. The wall plate exhibits face halved bladed scarf joints. It is noted that the house was used as a village school and was thatched until the present century.
