Description
St. Francis is a house dating from the mid or late 16th century, with alterations made in the late 17th or early 18th century. It has a three-cell plan and is one-and-a-half storeys high, featuring attics. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof that is hipped at the left-hand end and includes gabled casement dormers. There are axial and end chimneys, and the windows are small-pane casements from the 19th and 20th centuries. The entrance door is boarded with a glazed panel. The original structure includes a two-cell core with a hall and two service rooms, and the rear wall displays some framing from an earlier phase. The house was altered and extended in the late 17th or early 18th century to add a parlour at the right-hand end.
