Description
St Luke's House consists of two houses that date back to the mid-14th century. Originally a hall house, it was floored in the 17th century, and a stack was inserted in the former screens passage to create a lobby entrance. The building was split into two houses in the 19th century and underwent alterations in the late 20th century. The exterior features roughcast and colourwashed brick over a timber frame, with a roof covered in black-glazed pantiles.
The structure is two storeys high and has a four-window range with a high plinth course. There are two late 20th-century doors accessed by flights of steps, with the door to No. 2 set within a plain 20th-century recess. The windows consist of three-light late 20th-century top-hung casements. The roof is gabled, with a ridge stack positioned to the right of centre and an internal gable-end stack on the east side. The west gable has a blocked doorway in the canted corner, and there are 20th-century casements on each floor. At the rear, there is a two-storey cross wing with a truncated gable-end stack and 20th-century casements.
Inside, the timber frame features heavy scantling with jowled principal posts. The early 17th-century brickwork of the inserted stack includes a wide fireplace in the former hall, located in the ground-floor east room of No. 2. In the southeast corner, there are remains of an arched solar staircase door. The ground-floor west room of No. 2 has mortice holes in the bridging beam for screen muntins and doorways to service rooms, with the beam having been relocated. The roof has two bays with a crown post that is octagonal in section, featuring a moulded base and capital, and open arched braces to the crown purlin and collars.
