Description

The Old House is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with later extensions. It is two storeys high and has a three-cell layout. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a hipped roof covered in plain tiles. There is an internal chimney stack featuring a plain red brick shaft. The ground floor has three Edwardian mullion-and-transom type three-light windows, while the upper storey has three three-light casement windows with a single bar in each light. The entrance door is off-centre and set within a 20th-century enclosed porch with a flat roof.

Inside, the central bays to the left of the chimney stack feature a heavy exposed ceiling with cross-beams and joists that have an ogee-type moulding. There is an adjoining separately-framed bay with plain, rather poor joists. The left side of the stack includes a large open fireplace with a plain timber lintel above. At the rear, there is a mid-19th century two-storey range that has been added to create a double house. This range is constructed of rubble flint with red brick dressings and has a hipped roof made of black glazed pantiles, featuring a wide eaves overhang. It includes two-light and three-light casement windows with arched heads on the ground floor.
