Description
The Old Foundry is a house dating from around 1600, featuring gables and an 18th-century facade with 20th-century replacement details. The exterior has a plaster-rendered facade with red pantiled roofs. The east gable is made of flint with brick dressings, while the rear is brick, and the west gable also has flint with brick dressings and stone quoins, with a flint rear. The building consists of two or more sections and is two storeys high with an attic in the eastern section, containing four windows.
On the east side, there are three ground floor 20th-century replacement sash windows with glazing bars, a 20th-century window insertion in the centre, and a 20th-century bow window on the west side. The entrance features a 20th-century replacement door. The first floor has two 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars on the east and two 20th-century insertions on the west. The roof is recessed behind a parapet, and there is a segmental gabled leaded two-light casement dormer on the east side. The west gable includes an attic kneeler, a brick coped parapet, and a stack from an earlier taller roof pitch. The eastern section has one gable and one axial stack.
Inside, the west gable ground floor fireplace bressumer is dated 1636, while the east gable fireplace bressumer features roll mouldings.
