Description
Tudor House is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th century, built in three phases. It features a timber frame with plaster and a thatched roof, arranged in a three-cell form over two storeys. The building has various small casement windows from the 19th and 20th centuries, along with one glazed-over diamond-mullioned window on the upper left that has been partly renewed. To the right, there is a 20th-century pantiled lean-to entrance porch with a side door. The stack has a rendered shaft topped with a red brick cap from the 1980s, and there are mid-20th-century one-storey additions at the rear.
Inside, the frame consists of three bays, each from a different period. The service end to the left is the earliest, possibly from the early 16th century, featuring very heavy plain joists and a blocked diamond-mullioned window on the upper floor at the rear. The hall has a chamfered-joist ceiling and full-height studding with long curved braces, along with remnants of cross-entry doorways and evidence of diamond-mullioned windows. The stack in this bay is a later addition, replacing an earlier timber flue. There is an intact open fireplace in the hall. In the parlour cell, plain joists are set flat, with complete first-floor framing that includes arched corner bracing and two blocked windows with heavy diamond mullions. The roof over the service end is wind-braced with side purlins, while the roof timbers in the remainder of the building are concealed.
