Description
Yeomans Acre is a house dating from the 15th century, with alterations and extensions made around 1970. It is designed as an open hall house with two cross-wings, the right-hand cross-wing being the one added in the 1970s. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, with the upper floors of the cross-wings jettied on brackets. It features thatched roofs and an axial chimney made of red brick. The house has 20th-century oak-framed casement windows, as well as a moulded mullioned window in the hall. The entrance door is made from reused oak planks. Inside, the hall retains its open roof, which includes an open truss with an octagonal crownpost that has a moulded capital and base, along with four-way bracing. The tie-beam is cambered, and arch-braces spring from polygonal corbels. The original cross-wing is likely the parlour, with a solar above. Two sections of the wall plate have empty matrices for notched-lap joints and are reused from an earlier building. Some conjectural repairs were carried out around 1970 using secondhand timbers.
