Description
Benvenuta is a house dating from the late 16th century. It has one storey with attics and a three-cell plan, which likely originally featured a lobby entrance. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof that is half-hipped to the left. There is an axial chimney made of 19th-century red brick. The house includes one eyebrow dormer with a 20th-century casement window, as well as mid-20th-century metal casements and a glazed panelled entrance door. Inside, it features arch-braced studding and a clasped purlin roof.
