Fairview

Fairview is a house dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the late 18th and 19th centuries. It originally had a two-cell end-chimney plan and was extended to the left in the 18th century. The building is one storey with attics and is timber-framed, encased in 19th-century red brick at the front and plastered at the rear. The roof is pantiled and was once thatched.

To the right, there is a 16th-century end chimney made of narrow red bricks, with the middle section plastered, and an internal 19th-century chimney to the left. The house features raking dormers with small-pane casements, a mid-19th-century small-paned sash window, another sash window with large panes, and 20th-century casements. The entrance has a mid-19th-century four-panelled door, with the upper panels glazed, and is sheltered by an open gabled porch supported by posts.

Inside, the framing is typical and unmoulded, with well-chamfered joists laid flat and exposed in the hall and cross-entry. There is an open fireplace with a cambered lintel. The roof is wind-braced with clasped purlins, and the chamber over the hall originally extended over the service cell; instead of a tie beam between them, there is a heavy collar that ties a pair of principal rafters.
