14, Royal Oak Lane

No. 14 Royal Oak Lane is a late 16th-century house that was originally an open hall house. In the 17th century, a floor and chimney were added, and there was a 20th-century extension to the east. The building features a timber frame with roughcast and a steeply pitched roof that is now covered with slate. It is 1 and a half stories tall, with a gable facing the road to the north. The house has three flush casement windows and a swept dormer at the eaves. The former external gable chimney on the east side is now enclosed in the extension, while a separate internal chimney heats the west bay, with a stair beside it. Inside, the house retains exposed timbers, including axial chamfered beams, jowled posts, heavy straight braces to the tie-beams, straight braces in the side walls, and a clasped-purlin roof supported by trusses with collars and queen-struts.
