Smith End

Smith End is a pair of houses joined to form a single dwelling, dating to the late 17th century and the late 18th century, with 20th-century additions and alterations. The house to the right is the earlier of the two. It is timber-framed and has weatherboard and rendered cladding, topped with a steeply pitched thatched half-hipped roof. Originally designed as a two-cell lobby entry plan, it’s a one-story building with attics, featuring a four-window front and a central entrance. The lower parts of the windows have weatherboarding, and there are two small dormers with eyebrow thatch. An axial ridge stack, with a rebuilt cap, sits to the right of the centre. There are two-light casements in the gable ends; the one on the left is weatherboarded over a ground-floor lean-to. The rear features a lobby entrance and casements. To the left is a single-story, tiled 20th-century link with an entrance, leading at a right angle to the 18th-century house. This link is rendered with a clunch, flint, and brick plinth, and has a corrugated iron roof. It contains two bays over two storeys, with two-light, small-pane, flush frame casements. A central rendered ridge stack is present, and the left end has a weatherboarded lean-to, with a rear entrance to the left.
