Tile Barn

Tile Barn is a house that was formerly a Post Office. It dates from the mid-16th century and features a 19th-century facade. The building is timber-framed, with the ground floor clad in red brick laid in Flemish bond and the first floor tile-hung. It has a plain tile roof and consists of two timber-framed bays, with the left bay being shorter. The structure is two storeys high, set on a brick plinth, and has a continuous jetty at the rear elevation and the left gable end. The roof is hipped, and there is a slender projecting 20th-century brick stack towards the right end. A mid-16th-century projecting stone stack is located at the rear to the left, featuring tumbled brickwork at the shoulders, English bond above, and remnants of a moulded plinth on the rebuilt upper flue. The building has irregular fenestration with two casements—one with two lights and another with three lights. There is a 20th-century ribbed door located off-centre to the left in a 20th-century gabled brick porch. Inside, the building has exposed timbers and evidence of a diamond mullion window, along with a plain crown-post supported by ogee braces.
