Tanglewood

Tanglewood is a house dating from the 15th century or early 16th century, originally an open hall house, of which two altered cells remain. The parlour cell on the right may have been removed in the 17th century. The building has two storeys and attics, and is timber-framed with close-studded framing that is fully exposed, featuring plaster infill panels. It has a plaintiled roof with a central 17th-century chimney made of red brick, which has a sawtooth shaft. The windows are mainly mid-20th century casements with leaded glazing, and there is a late 20th-century boarded and battened entrance door at the gable end. Several features from the 15th century have been altered, including a blocked 4-centred arched cross-entry doorway and a full-height open hall window that is also blocked. The right gable was rebuilt in the 17th century, incorporating tension stud braces and an oversailing gable tie beam with console brackets beneath. The service cell walling on the left was remodelled or rebuilt in the 17th century, and the entire building is underpinned by a tarred red brick plinth from the 18th or 19th century.
