Description
McIntyre House is a house built in 1624 and refaced around 1860. It features a timber frame with wattle and daub infill, covered by a brick skin, and has a black glazed pantiled roof. The house has a lobby entrance plan and stands two storeys tall on a brick and flint base. The central door is flanked by a 19th-century sash window to the right and two similar sashes on the first floor, all set under segmental arches. To the left, there is one bay and a lower single bay extension, each with one late 17th-century timber casement window relocated from elsewhere on both floors. The gabled roofs have a ridge stack above the door. At the rear, there is a gabled cross wing that is timber framed, likely dating from the late 17th century, with a later outshut.
Inside, the cross wing features a stopped bridging beam and a three-light diamond mullion window, which is now glazed. The main range has double stopped bridging beams in both main rooms; the southern room has a similar wall plate and an altered fireplace. The southern extension bay is timber framed but dates from the same period as the rear cross wing. The upper floors show close studding. A winder staircase by the stack leads to the attic, with original treads from the first floor. The house also has stopped spine beams. In an alcove by the stack in the southern room, there is a plastered ceiling with a stepped pyramid pendant that terminates in a modified Tudor rose with radiating leaf trails. The frieze around the ceiling survives on three sides and features griffins, dating back to 1624. The roof has been renewed with tie beams.
