Janan

Janan is a house dating from around 1600, featuring two storeys and a three-cell lobby entrance plan. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a 19th-century pantiled roof that has an axial chimney, which was rebuilt in red brick during the mid-20th century. The house includes 19th and 20th-century casement windows and a 20th-century half-glazed panelled door at the lobby entrance. Despite the loss of some roof structure in the 19th century, it remains a complete and typical example of a modest late 16th-century house. Notable features include close studding, unchamfered floor joists laid flat, and blocked back-to-back fireplaces in both the hall and the original parlour.
