Description

Stuart House, Centre House, and The Church House are three houses that likely began as a single farmhouse, dating from the 16th century, with a 20th-century addition to the north cross wing (Stuart House). The buildings are timber framed and plastered, featuring a roof made up of a mix of plain tiles, pantiles, double Roman tiles, and asbestos slates. They are two storeys tall with attics and consist of a main range with slightly projecting flanking cross wings.

The houses have various casement windows, mostly from the 18th and 19th centuries. The south cross wing (The Church House) has a boarded door and a four-panel door. Centre House features a six-panel door, with the upper four panels glazed. Stuart House boasts an 18th-century doorcase with Roman Doric pilasters, an entablature, a triangular pediment, and a six-panel door, also with the upper four panels glazed. To the north, Stuart House has a mid-19th-century doorcase and one window with square leaded panes. Notably, Stuart House was the site of the murder of Rose Harsant in 1902, an event known as the "Peasenhall Murder."
