Description
The Old House is a house dating from the mid-to-late 16th century. It features a timber frame with exposed framing and rendered infilling on the ground floor, while the first floor is adorned with banded plain and fishscale tiles. The building stands two storeys high, with a brick plinth to the left of the door and stone to the right. The ground floor has broadly-spaced studding and an ogee tension brace on the panel to the left of the door. There is a continuous jetty that returns to the right on a moulded dragon post, with the left end underbuilt in red brick. The roof is half-hipped, with a brick ridge stack towards the left end and a projecting brick stack on the right gable end. The windows are irregularly arranged, featuring three three-light leaded casements and a horizontally-sliding ground-floor sash to the right of the door. The entrance has a ribbed door with a dropped doorhead and chamfered jambs, accessed by two steps to the right of centre. A lean-to is located at the right gable end. The interior has not been inspected.
