Description
The Harven is an early 16th century timber-framed building with plaster infilling set on a base of red brick, and the side walls are tile-hung. It features a hipped tiled roof. The first floor of the south-west window bay extends out over a moulded bressumer supported by brackets. Below this, on the ground floor, there is a bay with a window that has two tiers of six lights, featuring wooden mullions and transoms. Above, on the first floor, is a similar oriel window, topped by an oversailing gable that contains an attic window. Towards the north-east end of the front, there is a bay on both floors with a window of two tiers of eight lights, and there is ornamented timbering between the ground and first floor windows, along with an oversailing gable above that has a pendant and attic window. There are also some blocked original window openings.
