Description
The Nook is a house, likely built in the late 16th century or early 17th century. It has one storey and attics, featuring a three-cell plan. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof that includes two 20th-century eyebrow casement dormers. There is an axial chimney dating from around 1600, made of narrow buff bricks. The windows are 20th-century casements, and there is a corner entrance porch from the 20th century with a boarded and battened door. The interior has not been examined.
