Youngloves

Youngloves is a house dating from the 16th century, with extensions added in the 17th and 18th centuries. The house is timber frame construction with some red brick, largely covered with roughcast plaster. It has tiled roofs. Originally, the house was an open hall of two bays of unequal size. A further bay was added to the right in the 17th century, and 18th-century blocks were added at right angles to the rear right and front left. The main entrance is in the right bay of the original open hall, sheltered by a porch with a raking tiled hood. Ground floor windows are flush frame casements with three lights and leaded glass. Two 3-light gabled dormers with leaded lights are above the entrance bay. The right gable end of the 17th-century bay has a 2-light casement. The 18th-century block at the rear right has a taller ridge and larger, leaded 2-light casements. A red brick ridge stack originally stood externally on the 17th-century bay. A projecting block at the left end has an entrance on its inner side, also with a raking tiled hood, and a 3-light casement above. The ground floor has red brick to the gable end, which also incorporates a brick end stack and a projecting oven, with part weatherboarding. The left return is of red brick and weatherboard construction. Rear extensions are in the form of a lean-to, and a 19th-century stack is also present. Inside, the house features cambered tie beams and a clasped purlin roof.
