East Gables

House. Dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, it has a mid-19th century facade. The main range is one storey and attic, while the cross-wing is two storeys and attic. The house is timber-framed and faced with white brick, with roofs covered in a mixture of pantiles and plain tiles. There are two gabled dormers with fluted bargeboards. The windows are sash windows, with a single vertical bar to the ground floor and upper floor of the gable. They have moulded wedge lintels. A four-panelled entrance door features sunk panels. The interior retains visible timber framing, including plain ceiling joists set flat. The main range has two sections; the bay on the extreme left is a slightly later extension in a similar style. The exposed roof has clasped side purlins and cranked windbraces. The south side has been cut back, with the missing section replaced by an early 17th century, three-bay cross-wing with plain framing visible on the upper storey. Evidence remains of an original mullion-and-transome window on the upper side wall, facing the street; the ovolo-moulded transome has been reused in an attic partition. The roof is in three bays, with one row of butt purlins and one of clasped purlins, wind braces, and assembly marks on the main timbers. The chimney-stack, between the two ranges, includes a fireplace in an Adam style.
