Anne Duel'S House

Anne Duel's House is a hall house that has been converted into a residential home. It dates from the early 15th century and has undergone alterations and extensions in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a combination of timber framing with painted brick and render infill, as well as sections of painted brick. It has an old tile gabled roof and originally had a rectangular plan with two framed bays, but now has an L-shape due to the right-hand and rear extensions. The house is two storeys tall and has two end chimneys topped with clay pots.

The front of the house, facing the road to the northwest, has a left section with a timber-framed gable. On the first floor, there is a two-light casement window with glazing bars, along with one single-light window and another two-light window on the ground floor. To the right, there is a plain 20th-century entrance door. The right section of the house projects forward and includes a further gabled projection, all featuring 20th-century casement windows with glazing bars. There is a two-light window on the first floor to the left and three-light windows in the gable, both with small wooden pent hoods on each floor, as well as single-light windows on both levels of the returns.

Inside, the house showcases fine-quality exposed timber framing. It has large square-section inserted floor joists, likely from the 16th century, and a redundant crown post roof with heavily cambered tie beams, clasped side purlins, curved windbraces, and jowled posts. Anne Duel was the owner of the house in the early 19th century.
