Mead House

Mead House is a house with elements dating back to the 17th century, the early 18th century, and the early 19th century, with more recent additions. The east front was likely originally symmetrical with a design of two windows, a central bay of one window, and then two windows again. However, it now extends further north, with one window on the upper floor and two on the ground floor. The roof is tiled, half-hipped at the south end, with a full hip sloping down to a low eaves at the north, and features brick dentil eaves. The exterior walls are red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a band running along the first floor. Rubbed flat arches are also visible. There are two-light casement windows from the early 19th century. A simple boarded door is set within an open framed and gabled porch. The rear elevation displays exposed timber framing in the upper part of the oldest section, and includes two large, angular ground-floor bays. Modern two-storey wings extend westward on either side, featuring half-hipped roofs with tile-hung first floors above red brick walls.
