Nobles Corner

House, dating from the 15th century, with alterations in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. The house is timber frame construction, with rendered and part weatherboarded external walls. It has a steeply pitched hipped roof. The original layout was a two-cell lobby entry plan, originally a single storey with an attic, and it was likely open hall with two end bays. A thatched gabled porch shelters the lobby entrance, which has a plank and muntin door. The facade features flush frame small-pane casement windows with hoodboards; three windows are to the left and five to the right. Weatherboarding is present below a three-light dormer window on the right, with eyebrow thatching. A cross axial ridge stack is a prominent feature. A catslide roof extends over a lean-to outshut to the rear right, with scattered casements. The interior retains evidence of the original open hall, although much of the heavy timbering from the original crown post roof has been removed. The original interior layout, with end bays for solar and service in a 1:2:1 proportion, is still discernible. Traces remain of a large king-mullion window in the hall, a cross passage door that was later blocked with an arched head. The hall was divided in the 16th century with the insertion of a stack, which was doubled in the 17th century (a date of 1683 above the porch may relate to this phase). In the 18th century, the plan was altered to a lobby entry form, and the original door was blocked. The house is a good, though heavily altered, example of a small medieval house.

The second listing describes a house of early to mid-17th century origin, possibly earlier. It is timber frame with rendered and part weatherboarded walls. The steeply pitched hipped roof is thatched. The house has a two-cell lobby entry plan and is one storey with an attic, possibly originally open. It features a central entrance with a thatched gabled open porch, and a plank and muntin door. Flush frame small-pane casements with hoodboards are visible, with three lights to the left and five to the right. Weatherboarding is present below a three-light dormer with eyebrow thatching on the right. A cross axial ridge stack is present. Applied sham timber framing and small-pane casements return to the right, alongside weatherboarding and a pentice board. A catslide roof covers a lean-to outshut to the rear right, with scattered casements. The interior was not inspected.
