Description

Ruislip Almshouses is a 16th-century, five-bay range of timber-framed building located on the south side of Eastcote Road in Ruislip. It features a high-pitched tiled roof and a chimney with asymmetrical offsets at the east end. The structure has square framing with brick nogging on the first floor and a brick ground floor, which is built out on the south side to align with the former jettied first floor. The windows are small-paned iron casements, likely from the 18th century.
