46, The Street

No. 46 on The Street is a house dating from the 15th or early 16th century, with alterations made in the early 17th and 18th centuries. It is a two-cell open hall house that has undergone significant changes. The building has one-and-a-half storeys and attics, featuring a timber-framed structure that is rendered. The roof is thatched, with slated monopitch casement dormers. There are axial and gable chimneys made of red brick, with the 17th-century axial chimney having two attached octagonal flues on a square base. The windows are 19th-century small-pane casements, and the entrance doors are boarded. Around 1600, alterations included the insertion of a chimney in the center of the open hall, with a first-floor structure added over both rooms, transforming the left-hand room into a parlour. The service cell on the right was almost completely rebuilt in the 18th century, along with most of the hall roof. In the 19th century, the house was divided into two cottages.
