Quarry House

Quarry House is a house dating from the 16th century and around 1600, featuring one storey and attics. It has an earlier range of three cells, with a higher section at right angles added around 1600. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with some exposed studding, and has a pantiled roof that was formerly thatched. There are two gabled, pantiled casement dormers. The house includes an axial chimney from the 16th century or early 17th century made of red brick, with the upper shaft rebuilt in the 19th century, and a 19th-century gable chimney of red brick on the right. The windows are small-pane casements, mostly replicated in the 19th-century style during the late 20th century. The entrance door, which is boarded and from the 19th century, is located at the cross-entry, with a 17th-century diamond mullioned window above it. Inside, the higher range features an ovolo-moulded bridging beam and unchamfered first-floor joists laid flat. There is a lintelled open fireplace from the 16th or 17th century, along with a smaller fireplace in a chamber. A staircase wing was added to the rear in the 17th century and includes a diamond mullioned window. The lower range has several reused smoke-encrusted medieval rafters.
