Parrotts

House, probably dating from the 16th century, with extensions in the 17th and 18th centuries, and further alterations and extensions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The house is timber-framed, with some brick nogging and casing, rendered and roughcast surfaces, and tiled roofs. It was likely originally a two-bay open hall, with a parallel range added to the rear, and further wings added subsequently. The house is two storeys and has an attic. The main entrance is now on a gable end. The original block is to the left. A later hipped porch provides central access, with a blind opening above it. Large 20th-century casement windows are present. A coped double gable parapet tops the building. The left return features a 17th-century external stack with offsets. A one-bay 17th-century wing, set back to the right, has exposed first-floor framing above a 20th-century ground floor projection, and a stack on its front pitch. Further to the right, and projecting at right angles, is a three-bay 18th-century timber-framed former outbuilding with exposed framing and brick nogging, and inserted windows. There is an external stack to the rear of this outbuilding. The rear elevation reveals some exposed framing on the later of the two main ranges, with a 20th-century addition behind the original building. Inside the earliest block, features include stop-chamfered ground floor binding beams, curved braces from jowled posts to cambered tie beams, a clasped purlin roof, and curved windbraces. Clasped purlin roofs are also found in the later wings.
