Stourbank

Stourbank is a timber-framed house that was refaced in the late 19th century or early 20th century on the south front, but it incorporates a frame from the 16th to 17th century. Internally, there are exposed fragments of the original frame, and the south side features two large rooms with impressive 16th to 17th century moulded beams adorned with carved folded ribbon ornamentation. The original frame may still be hidden behind the later façade. At the rear, there is a wing that extends to the north, which has undergone various additions and alterations over time. On the east side, there are some 18th century or early 19th century double-hung sash windows with glazing bars. The west side mainly consists of late 19th century or early 20th century work with imitation timber-framing. The south front has a jettied upper storey with sham timber-framing and a red brick ground storey. The building has two storeys at the front block and attics at the rear, featuring a 1:6:1 window range of double-hung sashes. The central part, which has a six-window range, projects forward. The roofs are primarily slate, while the north rear wing has tiles on the east side. The front block also includes a spired tower.
