Washington

Washington is a house dating from the late 17th century, with later 18th-century cladding. It features a timber frame covered with red and blue brick and has a plain tiled roof. The building has a lobby entry plan and stands two storeys high on a plinth made of ragstone. The first floor has later 18th-century brickwork, which was originally tile hung, and is topped with a dogtooth cornice on a hipped roof that suggests a gablet to the right. There are stacks located to the centre right and at the rear left. The first floor has three three-light wooden casements and a two-light casement to the centre right, while the ground floor includes one three-basket arched three-light casement. The door, located to the centre right, has four panels with a glazed top and is topped with a flat hood supported by brackets. There is a blocked basement opening on the left side of the building. At the rear, there is a catslide outshot with a projecting bakehouse. Inside, the house features a stop-chamfered cross-beamed ceiling and studded partition walls, as well as an inglenook with an ovolo moulded bressumer. The layout is a traditional three-cell and five-bay plan, which may have originally been fully framed.
