Number 64 (Moonrakers) (Including North Part Formerly Separately Listed As Moonrakers, Under The Valley)

Number 64, known as Moonrakers, is a house dating from around 1500, originally designed as an open hall house with a storeyed northern service crosswing. A chimney was added in the cross-passage and a floor was inserted in the hall in the late 16th century. The hall was heightened, and a southern wing was constructed on the site of the original parlour wing in the late 17th century, marked by a graffito celebrating the topping out ceremony dated 1686. By the late 18th century, the house was divided into five cottages, but it was restored into a single residence in 1963.

The building features exposed timber framing at the front on the first floor, with plastered infill in the jettied northern wing and flush southern wing, while the hall range has red brick infill. The ground floor and southern side are roughcast, but the front of the hall range is finished in red brick. The house has steep old red tile roofs and is laid out in an irregular H-plan, facing west at the corner of The Valley. It has four windows along the front and two at the southern end. The front features two-light casement windows with small panes on the first floor and three-light similar windows on the ground floor. A very large external chimney at the northern end is constructed of narrow red bricks.

Inside, the house retains re-used smoke blackened rafters with mortices for collars, jowled posts at the level of the old hall range eaves, and a clasped-purlin roof in the northern wing, which contains one room on each floor. The floor inserted in the hall features chamfered and stopped joists and axial beams.
