Description
Ye Olde Timbers is a house that was formerly known as Church Cottages. It dates from the 16th century to the early 18th century. The building features a timber frame that is exposed, with plaster and painted brick infill, and has been extended with rendered brickwork. The roofs are covered in plain tiles.
The main range consists of four framed bays and includes a projecting land wing, as well as an early 18th-century wing that is a complete range in itself, attached to the right rear. The two-storey main range has a continuously jettied design with large panel framing. The projecting wing to the left is jettied and underbuilt with painted brick, featuring a hipped roof and a gablet, while the main range has a gabled roof. There is a stack on the left side of the building.
The windows are arranged irregularly, with five wooden casements on the first floor and three on the ground floor. There is a short communicating range to the 18th-century wing, which has two storeys and an attic, displaying a discontinuous plinth, a platband, and a coved cornice on the hipped roof. This wing includes two hipped dormers and a central stack. The first floor has three segmental-headed windows and a small light in the center, with a bow window to the left and two wooden casements on the ground floor, along with a boarded door to the right. There is a catslide roof at the end right of the building.
