Description
Weathercock House is a house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. It has two storeys and features a two-cell lobby-entrance plan. The building is timber-framed and rendered, with a roof covered in clay pantiles. There is an internal chimney stack with a low rebuilt shaft. The ground storey has two-light small-paned 20th-century casement windows, while the upper storey has small sash windows. A 20th-century glazed door is also present. At the rear, there is a lean-to addition. Inside, the plain framing is exposed, with the framing to the south of the stack being heavier and appearing older than that on the north.
