Description
The Old Cock House is a former public house that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates from the late 16th century, with extensions added in the mid-17th century, 18th century, and 19th century, and alterations made in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame that is plastered and has a steeply pitched pantiled roof.
It consists of two sections, each with a central stack. The right section is from the 17th century and may be a rebuild of the original service bay, while the left section is from the 18th century. The building is two storeys high and has three blocked doors, along with 20th-century three and four-light glazing bar casements. There are axial ridge stacks with rebuilt caps located between the two sections. The right end has a lean-to outshut with a partially opening three-light casement, and the left end's 18th-century bay has a shallower roof pitch. At the rear, there are three dormers in the 17th-century section, and to the rear left, there is a 19th-century brick former coach-house that was extended in the 20th century.
Inside, the 16th-century section features chamfered cross axial binding beams and storey posts, a stop chamfered fireplace bressumer, traces of close studding, cambered collars, halved principals clasp purlins, and cranked arched windbraces. The 17th-century section includes some through tension bracing and a single butt purlin roof.
