Fairhaven

Fairhaven is a house that has been converted into three dwellings. It dates back to around 1600, with extensions from the 17th century, a refronting and partial raising in the 18th century, and alterations or partial rebuilding in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame with a brick front that is rendered and whitewashed, topped with steeply pitched pantiled roofs. The layout is L-shaped, with an early two or three cell lobby entrance range that originally faced the road, and a two cell addition to the front left that was refronted to create five bays.

The house is two storeys high, with a central half-glazed door flanked by cross casements, a plat band, and two cross casements on the first floor to the left, along with an architraved sash to the right. The eaves are boxed, and the roof hipped to the right reflects the earlier construction. The right return has two entrances with boarded doors in 20th-century gabled porches and two-light casements. There is an axial stack towards the front on the return ridge, featuring a large base with three conjoined diagonally set shafts, and a 19th-century ridge stack towards the rear. The rear bay is a 20th-century rebuilding or addition.

Inside, No. 1 on the left has an altered frame with some exposed studding and a raised roof. No. 2 features a chamfered cross axial binding beam on arched braces from storey posts, a four-centred arched door-head to the original entrance behind the stack, and an early newel stair also behind the stack. No. 3 has some exposed close studding, stop-chamfered wallplates, and a clasped purlin roof with arched windbraces.
