Description
Lark House is a house that has been divided into two separate residences, originally built in the 17th century and later fronted in the early to mid-19th century. It underwent extensive restoration in the 1980s. The building is timber-framed and encased in white brick, topped with pantiled roofs.
The exterior features two storeys, a cellar, and attics. No. 21 has two 20-pane sash windows on the first storey with plain reveals and flat stucco arches, along with one similar window on the ground storey. No. 22 has a single ground storey window that matches, but its first storey windows are narrower 15-pane sashes set at a lower level. The brick front of No. 22 rises above the eaves in a high parapet, which includes a 9-pane sash window in the attic. Behind this, the apex of the gable of a small original cross-wing is visible. Both houses feature similar plain doorways with rendered flat arches and ornate late 20th-century doors.
Inside No. 22, there is a small flint-lined vaulted cellar with some 19th-century brickwork introduced. A few timbers are exposed inside, some of which are reused and located in the upper part of a late 17th-century rear wing. No. 21 was not inspected.
