Tudor Cottage Tudor House

Tudor House and Tudor Cottage are two dwellings with a shop, originally possibly shops with a house added. They date from the 16th century, with extensions from the early 17th century and alterations in the early 18th century, 19th century, and 20th century. The buildings are timber-framed and plastered, featuring steeply pitched pantiled roofs. The main range is six bays and four cells, apparently unheated, with a taller two-bay lobby entry house added to the left. All parts are two storeys high, with an attic.

The 16th-century range has four windows with entrances between each pair. On the ground floor to the left, there is a part-glazed and boarded architraved door, an architraved sash window, and a three-light glazing bar casement. To the right, there is a three-panelled door, an early 19th-century reeded doorcase with lozenges in the frieze, and 16-pane architraved sashes. The first floor features two-light glazing bar casements. The 17th-century addition has an entrance to the right with an early 18th-century six raised panelled door, architrave, and good acanthus console brackets supporting a dentilled hood. It also has three 9-pane and three 6-pane architraved sashes, ground floor hoodboards, boxed eaves, and a ridge stack to the right. The left end has brickwork on the ground floor and an attic light.

At the rear, there are lean-to additions, and to the right, there is a flint and brick outbuilding with 16th-century origins, featuring arched bracing in the front wall and a 19th-century stack. Inside, the frame is largely concealed and partially altered. Roughly central in the main range is part of an original internal doorway with a chamfered four-centred arched spandrel, stop-chamfered binding beams, and traces of close studding. There are cranked arched braces to cambered tie beams and a reverse curved arched brace in the walling. The 17th-century build has an early 19th-century fireplace, a chamfered axial binding beam, reverse curved arched braces in the walling, and a side purlin roof originally with a gable to the front. This is an unusual building, and its original plan and function are unclear.
