Debendrift

This is a house dating from around 1530, with alterations made in the late 16th century and later. It is a 2-storey, 3-cell cross-passage entrance plan house. The timber frame is plastered, with early 19th century herringbone pargeting in panels. The roof is pantiled, likely originally thatched. It has one axial and one gable chimney of red brick, each with three detached square shafts in the 17th-century style, but likely dating to the 19th century. Late 18th or early 19th century casement windows are fitted with metal opening lights. A late 20th-century glazed entrance door is situated at the cross-entry position.

The 2-bay hall has an arch-braced tie-beam (with only one thin brace remaining) and appears to have originally been open, with a fireplace from its construction. The service cell features massive, unchamfered floor joists. The roof is fragmentary, having been raised and replaced with a new structure in the 18th or 19th century. A 2-bay parlour block was added in the mid to late 16th century, featuring close-studding, a heavy and well-chamfered first-floor structure, and a windbraced clasped-purlin roof. In the late 16th century, an upper floor was inserted over the hall, with less-massive chamfered joists, and a lintelled open fireplace was added (the original fireplace was likely timber). A small 18th century rear wing has a possible date of 1766 scratched on a wallplate.
