Description
Oakhouse is a house dating from the late 15th century with later alterations. It is timber-framed with brick and has a pantile roof. The building is arranged in an L-plan to the north of a courtyard and has two storeys with a three-bay facade that is colourwashed. The central door, which is a plank and stud design from the 16th century, is flanked by one 20th-century casement window on each side. The first floor is jettied and features two three-light casements from the late 18th century. The gabled roof has internal gable-end stacks, both of which have been rebuilt, with the southern stack dating from the late 20th century. The south gable is made of brick.
At the rear of the front range, the timber framing is visible, with a late 18th-century half-glazed door to the left and various casement windows to the right and on the first floor. There is a two-storey jettied hall range that extends east and is also timber-framed, with the western half underbuilt in brick and featuring one fixed sash window and one casement. Immediately to the left of this section is a cast-iron water pump, along with a 20th-century window and door. The first floor has one three-light casement and one 20th-century window, with a former loading door situated between them. The gabled roof has a ridge stack located left of centre on a high rendered plinth.
Inside, the west ground-floor room of the cross wing has close-studded walls. The room to the east features a fireplace in the north wall. The principal studs are jowled, and the tie beams have tension braces to the front street range and arched braces to the cross wing. A four-light diamond-mullioned window remains in the cross wing.
