6 and 8 The Street

Numbers 6 and 8 on The Street are a house with origins dating back to the 15th or early 16th century. The building was altered around 1600 and extended in the 18th century. It features a hall range and a cross-wing, standing one-and-a-half storeys tall with attics. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, with the 18th-century rendering being rough-cast. It has a thatched roof with a gabled casement dormer and axial chimneys made of red brick. The windows are small-paned casements from the 19th and 20th centuries. The entrance door, framed and boarded, dates from the 20th century and is accompanied by a thatched lean-to porch. A small two-bay medieval cross-wing, which has remnants of a hipped roof, is now integrated into the existing cross-wing. An open hall likely occupied the site of the current hall range from around 1600, which includes an open fireplace and a lobby entrance. The building was extended by one cell in three directions in the late 18th or early 19th century and has since been divided into cottages.
