The Town House

The Town House is a house, originally built as an almshouse around 1655 (as recorded in parish accounts), with additions from the 18th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed, with a brick plinth, a plain tile roof, and brick chimney stacks. The house is single-storey with an attic.

The front of the house has 20th-century windows. On the ground floor, at the far right is a three-light window, and to the left of this, a single-light window, then two two-light windows, and a further single-light window at the far left. The first floor has a gabled dormer window flush with the wall, with two lights, and to the left of this, a similar 20th-century lead-glazed window. To the far right is a single-storey addition with a gabled roof; it has a four-light 20th-century metal casement window to the right and a doorway with glazed panels to the left. To the left of the main house, a further single-storey addition has a half-glazed doorway to the right. A large ridge chimney stack is located to the left of the centre. The right-hand gable end has a two-light casement window to the attic, and the left-hand gable end has a similar window.

The rear of the house has blank brick walls with outshuts to the right and left, each with a single-light window. On the first floor of the central portion, there are two two-light gabled dormer windows.

Inside the original 17th-century part of the house, the walls have close studding, and the ceiling is supported by chamfered beams on plain wall posts.
