Description
The Three Gables is a Grade II listed building located on Croft Lane, constructed in 1907 by C. H. Hignett for his own use. This one and a half storey house features a vernacular design based on a three-bay lobby entrance house with a semi-open plan. The north entrance front has two bays and originally included an open entrance porch, which has since been filled in. The main south front consists of three bays, highlighted by a wide, buttressed, projecting central bay with a half hipped thatch roof made of Norfolk reed, topped with a tiled peak at the ridge. The exterior is finished in roughcast brick with an exposed plinth and includes brick stacks. Eyebrow dormer casements are located at the eaves, and the windows are mullioned leaded casements with 2 to 5 lights, featuring tile labels. The front door is adorned with a stained glass fish design. A former garden room has been filled in. Inside, the building boasts an interesting interior with quality joinery and wrought ironwork, including a living room with a tripart arched fireplace surrounded by a chequered surround.
