Description
No. 61 is a house that was later divided into three dwellings. It dates back to around 1520 and underwent significant changes in the 17th century when a stack and floor were inserted and the roof was replaced. Further extensions and alterations occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame that is plastered and partially cased in brick, with additions of red brick, clay lump, and flint. It has a hipped thatched roof. Originally, it was a small two-bay open hall with a cross passage and a storeyed service or solar bay to the left. The upper bay had a stack inserted and was slightly extended at the upper end. The building is now all one storey with an attic. The original cross passage entrance on the left is blocked, and there is a lobby entrance with a boarded door.
The facade includes four two-light glazing bar casements, each with hoodboards, and three two-light glazing bar dormers with leaded hoods. There is a ridge stack located to the right of the center. The right side features brick quoining on the brick end wall, with a ground floor two-light casement that has a segmental head and three lights above it. The left end has two-light casements, with some flint and brick casing. A 19th-century external stack is also present. At the rear, there is a 19th-century lean-to addition made of clay lump and brick, with a pantiled roof and a rear stack, along with a further 20th-century addition to the rear right.
Inside, there are three four-centred arches leading from the cross passage into the hall, although the central arch has been altered. The original base plate remains, and the hall features a four-light chamfered mullioned window opening, a bar stop chamfered inserted binding beam, and large chamfered arched braces supporting the originally open central truss, which has a crown post mortice in the tie beam. The storeyed end has a diamond mullioned window opening with shutter grooves, tension bracing, and reverse curved bracing.
