Gothic House, Little Gothics and Commandree

This is a late 15th-century house, with probable 17th-century additions and a mid-19th-century remodelling, now divided into three dwellings. The house is timber-framed and rendered, with plain tile roofing and red brick stacks. Originally, the house comprised an open-hall range with a jettied cross wing to the left and a service wing to the right. Later, projecting cross wings were added to each side, the wing to the right being of two builds. Further additions occurred to the right and rear of the building. A mid-19th century remodelling adopted a Tudor style. The house is two storeys high, except for the former hall range, which is now one storey with an attic. The original 15th-century range shows internal evidence for a former cross passage entry to the right, now remodelled to form a lobby entry to the left of the jettied wing. A 20th-century door has been inserted. Mullion and transom windows are found throughout, with a square bay on the ground floor of the jettied wing. Two gabled dormers are present. The upper part of the ridge stack has been rebuilt. The added cross wings are also jettied to the front and incorporate similar detailing, with bargeboards to the gables. The rear section of the right wing has a mansard roof.

The interior of Little Gothics, which occupies the hall range and the ground floor of the service wing to the right, reveals exposed timber framing, including studded walls. Original cross passage doors and paired service doors (one renewed) feature chamfered Tudor arches. A 16th-century ceiling displays moulded beams with leaf stops and moulded joists. An inglenook, somewhat remodelled, has a chamfered bressummer. A section of inserted 17th-century panelling is also present. The kitchen in the former service range retains a cross beam with mortices for a former partition wall. The attic contains a renewed hall crown post and tie beam, but a 20th-century post supports the original capital and braces, along with the remainder of the roof structure. The front wall plate shows diamond mortices and a shutter groove relating to the original hall window. The interior of the former The Gothics was not inspected.
