Harpole

Harpole is a house that dates from the 15th and 18th centuries and is divided into four sections. The right section is a fragment from the 15th century, constructed with timber framing, cement rendering, and a plain tile roof. It stands two stories tall, with the first floor jettied at both the front and rear. The roof is hipped to the right and gabled to the left, featuring a multiple brick ridge stack at the left end. There is one unglazed window on the first floor, and a lean-to at the right end has a small projecting stack.

The left and central sections are from the 18th century, with the right end possibly containing an earlier timber-framed core. These sections are made of painted brick and have a plain tile roof, set much lower than the jettied section. They also stand two stories tall, with a gabled roof to the left and a lean-to roof that forms a hip halfway down the gable. At the right end, near the junction with the jettied section, there is a short section of roof with a relatively steep pitch, with the ridge only slightly lower than that of the jettied end. The rear elevation of this section is now cement rendered and flush with the plane of the jetty, while the front elevation is encased by the brick of the left section.

The left gable end features a projecting stone stack, and the fenestration is irregular, consisting of two-light casements on the first floor and three ground-floor casements with segmental heads. There is a plank door in the lean-to at the left end. Additionally, there is a rear wing at the center of the rear elevation, built in the late 18th century, made of painted brick and standing two stories tall with a dentilled eaves cornice and a roof hipped to the rear. This wing has a brick stack towards the rear end and features two two-light casements as well as a single-storey lean-to on the north elevation.
