Chaucer House

Chaucer House is a house that dates from the late medieval period and later, with the eastern section rebuilt after 1945. It features colour-washed brick and flint, which is rendered on the roadside, supporting a jettied timber-framed first floor. The roof is made of pantiles. The jettied first floor is elevated, believed to represent a carriage entrance. The building has two storeys and a vaulted cellar at the rear.

The front has irregular fenestration, with two modern 3-light and two 2-light mullion windows on the ground floor, and three 3-light casements on the upper floor. The upper floor is close-studded on both sides. The rear also has irregular fenestration, featuring 18th and 19th-century casements, along with evidence of one 17th-century plain chamfered mullion window. There are two axial stacks and a shallow pitched roof from the 18th or 19th century.

Inside, there is a large plain chamfered spinal bridging joist with straight stops, and evidence for two opposing long windows. There is moulded brick corbelling, likely for a first-floor fireplace, and an arched doorway with exposed medieval bricks.
