Oak House

Oak House is a house that dates back to the 15th century, with later alterations and early 17th century work at the rear. It underwent renovation around 1975. The building is timber framed and rendered, featuring exposed first floor studding on the front section, which has a plaintiled roof. The rear wing has old plasterwork on the north side and a pantiled roof.

The house is two storeys high and has a jetty overhanging the street, showcasing exposed joist-ends and a bressummer with remnants of embattled ornament. There is a single mid-20th century sash window on each floor, with the lower window being tripartite. The rear wing includes various casement windows, two of which are square-leaded on the north side, and a 17th century diamond-mullioned window in the gable end. An internal stack features a 19th century red brick shaft.

Inside, the property has been modernised, but the earlier section retains heavy studding. There is a contemporary four-centre arched doorway to the north, likely intended for a shop. The house has experienced considerable subsidence, and both original wallplates have later work above them that supports a 17th century butt purlin roof. The rear addition is 3.5 bays long and consists of two cells with plain joists set flat, plain studding, and a clasped purlin roof.
