Numbers 5 And 6 (Harwell House) With Attached Outbuilding

Numbers 5 and 6, known as Harwell House, is a house that was later divided into three dwellings and is now two. It dates from the early 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with vitrified headers, and features a plastered timber frame at the rear. The roof is black glazed pantiles, with plain tiles at the back.

The house has a three-cell cross entry plan with the service end on the left and stands two storeys tall. The front was largely rebuilt in the 19th century. To the left of the centre, there is a recessed architraved six-panelled door, a half-glazed door to the far right, and a blocked door to the left. The ground floor has four recessed single glazing bar sashes, while the first floor has three, all with cambered heads. The building features an offset plinth, a rendered plat band, and boxed eaves, along with stepped kneelers at the coped gable end parapets. Internal stacks are located at the rear, with one axial to the right of centre and another cross axial to the left. The left gable end has two plat bands and blocked openings.

At the rear, there is a gable behind the service bay, a four-panelled door in the centre, and a 19th-century slate-roofed lean-to addition for stairs, along with a two-light box dormer on the right. Inside, there are diagonally set corner fireplaces and indented ogee stop-chamfered binding beams.

Attached to the rear left is a late 16th or early 17th-century outbuilding, which was formerly stabling for the Greyhound Public House. This outbuilding is timber-framed, rendered and weatherboarded, with a steeply pitched corrugated sheet roof. It has two bays and was originally longer, featuring a door towards the rear and an upper 18-pane casement, with close studding and a mid-rail, along with a clasped purlin roof.
