Description

Three Ways is a house dating from the 15th century, with alterations from the 16th and 17th centuries. It is a 3-cell open hall house that has 1 and a half storeys plus attics. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof featuring a 20th-century axial chimney made of red brick, which has attached flattened hexagon shafts. There is an eyebrow casement dormer and 20th-century casements with leaded lights. The entrance features a 20th-century panelled door and a gabled thatched timber porch. Originally, it was a small open-hall house with two cells and a service room to the left, and it retains a complete soot-blackened coupled-rafter roof. An early 16th-century parlour block was added to the right, and there are back-to-back fireplaces in the hall and parlour, with a first-floor structure inserted into the hall in the 17th century.
