Description
Pear Tree House is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, featuring a three-cell main range and an early 17th-century two-cell cross-wing that is set forward to the left. The building is constructed with a timber frame and plaster, and the gable end of the main range is finished in colourwashed brick. It has a thatched roof and stands two storeys high with attics. The house includes various casement windows, most of which are old, along with some mid-20th-century reproduction windows that have diamond-leaded glass. The cross-wing features several windows with diamond and chamfered mullions, likely added during the mid-20th century restoration. There is a lobby entrance with a mid-20th-century gabled porch that is now blocked, and a mid-20th-century plank door to the left, which is within an open timber porch. Each range has an internal stack, with the one in the cross-wing rebuilt in a sawtooth form during the mid-20th century. The parlour end of the main range showcases ovolo-moulded bridging beams. Additionally, there are remains of a medieval moat on the property.
