Creems

This is a house dating from the 16th century, with additions and alterations made in the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries, particularly to the east and rear. It is timber framed and has plain-tiled gable and catslide roofs. A brick end-stack is located to the west, and there are two off-centre stacks.

The exterior is two storeys high and features 20th-century casement windows, some set within original openings that retain mullions. A crosswing projects to the rear, and to the east of this wing is a former 19th-century dairy and further 20th-century extensions.

The interior reveals an exposed timber frame from the 16th and later centuries, characterized by close studding with substantial timber. The framing demonstrates pegged mortice and tenon joints, as well as side-halved scarf joints. An original cross passage was lightly remodelled when a chimney and fireplace were inserted, with original openings leading to the former hall. The west gable end of the hall was rebuilt, likely in the later 16th or early 17th century. Original front and rear wall frames remain, along with a blocked door opening and a mullioned window in the rear wall. There are also two 17th or 18th-century timber battened doors on both the ground and first floors. Two service rooms are located to the east, one featuring a substantial brick chimney breast with an open fireplace. The ground floor rooms have chamfered bridging beams, studwork, wall posts, and midrails, with the sole plate visible in most rooms.

On the first floor, exposed framing is visible throughout, including arched braces, exposed wall plates, studwork, jowled storey posts, and tie beams. The roof over the main building has coupled common rafters, pegged in place with collars. Crown-post construction is said to be present over the crosswing. Numerous lathe and plaster partitions remain in the roof space.

The building is designated at Grade II for its remarkable intact 16th-century vernacular character, its display of good craftsmanship and local building traditions, the retention of significant fixtures and fittings such as mullion windows and 17th or 18th-century doors, and the legibility of its 16th-century plan-form, which contributes to our understanding of vernacular domestic architecture.
