Quintons House

Quintons House is a house that likely dates from the late 16th century, with a 17th-century rear cross wing. It is timber-framed and rendered, with part of the structure built in brick. The roof is covered with plain tiles and features red brick stacks. The house has two storeys and the front range consists of a 5-bay frame that is unusually wide, with the gable end facing the road. An off-centre plank door is flanked by casement windows beneath a timber lintel. To the left, there is a 20-pane flush sash window and a small fire window, while another casement window is located to the right. On the first floor, there is a single-light fire window and one casement window. The roof is steeply pitched and has a large ridge stack.

To the right gable end, there is a 19th-century low brick extension that is underbuilt in brick and has a rebuilt external stack. The left gable end features a flush sash window with glazing bars on the left and a 20th-century window otherwise. The rear wing is underbuilt in brick and has studded walls above on the right return, along with an external stack at the gable.

Inside, much of the framing is exposed. The ground floor displays studded walls, and the room to the left of the stack has a Tudor-arched fireplace, a cross beam with a tongue stop, and exposed joists. The kitchen to the right features a cambered bressummer with a jewel stop, as well as a corner cupboard with raised and fielded panelling and a cornice. On the first floor, the centre bay shows massive jowled posts with long waney arch braces leading to a cambered tie beam, along with a studded partition wall. The rear wall shows evidence of a wide arch of uncertain purpose, and there is an edge-halved scarf to the rear wall plate. A large stepped stack is present, along with a blocked 4-light diamond mullion window and a bedroom fireplace with a chamfered elliptical arch. A moulded plank door, likely from the 16th century, is also found here. The roof features two levels of butt purlins, and the rear wing has jowled posts with arch braces leading to chamfered tie beams and studded walls.
