Trees

Trees is a building originally constructed as one house, now divided into three cottages, dating from the 16th century or earlier. It features a timber frame, with Nos. 22 and 23 covered in 20th-century textured render and a roof of modern plaintiles. No. 24 retains old panelled plasterwork and has interlocking concrete pantiles. The building is two storeys high with attics and has a range of six windows, which are small-paned, two-light casements from the 19th and 20th centuries. There are three doorways, each accessed by short flights of steps. No. 22 has an 18th-century two-panelled door, No. 23 has a 19th-century four-panelled door, and No. 24 features a six-panelled raised and fielded door, likely from the 18th century. The structure includes two gabled dormers and a heavy internal stack; the lower part of the shaft has an inset oblong panel with a sawtooth brick course, while the upper part has been rebuilt. There is an additional stack to the right, positioned just behind the roof ridge. Inside, No. 23 boasts a fine hall ceiling, likely a later addition to an open hall, with main beams forming a T shape on plan, both featuring multiple mouldings, along with a similarly-moulded cross-beam against the stack and fully moulded joists. A middle rail is located just below the level of this floor, while the roof is a later addition. The interiors of Nos. 22 and 24 have not been examined.
