Old Swan House

Old Swan House is a house dating from the mid-16th century. It is timber framed, covered with pebbledashed colourwashed render, and has a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and a five-cell plan, with a later 16th-century addition of two and a half bays. The hall features an added parlour and an 18th-century extension.

On the entrance front, there are outshuts on both sides; the left is a single-storey lean-to, while the right is two storeys with a shallow-pitched roof. Between these outshuts are two ground floor three-light 19th-century casement windows. On the first floor, there is a three-light casement window on the right and a four-over-four pane sash window on the left. The right gable end has a four-light 20th-century ground floor window and a two-light first floor window, along with a single-light attic window. The rear of the house features entirely 20th-century windows, with a 20th-century front doorway located to the left of centre. On the ground floor to the right of the doorway are a three-light window, a six-light window, two single-light windows, and a three-light 19th-century casement on the far left, along with a pair of 19th-century French windows. The first floor has two three-light and four two-light casements, plus two gabled dormers in the attic, each with two lights. The roof features a chimney stack with two flues on the right and another chimney with three flues slightly below the ridge on the left.

Inside, the house has a two-bay hall with evidence of two service rooms and their doorways, along with a two-bay parlour. The hall displays close studding and massive broach-stopped ceiling beams, with wide flat joists that appear to be part of the original plan rather than later additions. There is a later inserted chimney stack in the half-bay with two hearths, and a socket for a crown post in the attic, though there is no visible soot blackening.
