Description
This building, now comprising three separate houses, began as the Wheatsheaf Inn. It originates from the late medieval period as a timber-framed hall, with an early 18th-century extension (End Cottage) and subsequent re-cladding incorporating features from the late 19th and 20th centuries. The front wall is constructed of brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with blue headers, a plinth, and cambered openings, including an arch in the gable. Rubbed flat arches were originally present above two windows, but these have been replaced by a cambered arch over a single window. A first-floor band runs along part of the facade, and deep eaves are supported by brick dentils on the south side. The north wall shows exposed brickwork within the timber frame, while other walls are of painted brick. The roof is tiled, with a half-hipped north end, a pronounced middle gable (belonging to the crosswing), and a higher roof to the south side that culminates in a gable.
The main hall has a first floor inserted later and a fireplace dating from around 1600. The crosswing possesses a gabled front which conceals a formerly jettied first floor. A south-facing extension from the early 18th century has been altered in later times. The west front elevation is two storeys high, with an attic, and has a window arrangement of 3-2-1. Windows are primarily casements, although the south side incorporates sash windows, including a splayed bay. Two plain doorways are present, each with a 20th-century hipped tiled canopy supported by posts. The interior of Middle Cottage reveals the original medieval layout, including evidence of the former jettied upper floor of the crosswing, alongside the insertion of a fireplace and a first floor into what was originally the hall. End Cottage features an oak staircase.
