Description
The Old House is an early 18th-century house located on the northwest side of The Cross in Bilsington. It is timber-framed and clad in weatherboarding, topped with a plain tiled roof that is half-hipped to the north and gabled to the south. The roof features a hipped dormer and a chimneystack at the rear. The house has two storeys and attics, with two wooden casements on the first floor and two tripartite wooden casements on the ground floor, along with a boarded door to the south. There is a brick lean-to extension to the north that includes a sash window. This house is built from local materials and is part of a group of buildings.
