Description
Treaclebenders is a house dating from the early 17th century, with 19th-century alterations. It is one storey high with attics and has a three-cell plan. The building is timber framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof that is half-hipped at both ends, featuring a thatched gabled dormer on the garden side. There is an axial chimney made of red brick. The windows are 20th-century casements, and there is a 20th-century boarded door at the gable end, which is sheltered by an open pantiled gabled porch supported by posts. Inside, the unmoulded 17th-century framing is exposed. To the right, there is an early 19th-century wing that is set forward, constructed of plastered masonry and covered with a pantiled roof.
