Description
Butchers is a house dating from the early 18th century, featuring two storeys and a lobby-entrance plan. It is timber-framed and rendered, standing on a high plinth made of brick and kidney flint, with a black-glazed pantiled roof. The house has an internal chimney stack with a plain rebuilt red brick shaft. There are three 3-light casement windows with cross-bars on each storey, and a 20th-century plank door. The frame consists of six bays, including a chimney bay, with narrow, bisected studs and primary braces. To the south of the chimney stack, there is a three-bay room that shows no correlation between the main posts and the main cross-beams of the ceiling, indicating a possible rearrangement of the space, which may have originally contained two rooms. Attached to the south of the house is a single-storey outbuilding built with similar materials, which used to be a blacksmith's shop, and there is a continuation at right angles that is now a butcher's shop.
