Description

The Olde House is a house dating from the 16th century. It features a restored timber frame that is exposed, with plaster infill and a plain tiled roof. The building stands two storeys high on a brick plinth and has a close-studded design with a continuous jetty. The roof is hipped and includes three hipped dormers, along with a stack located to the centre-right. On the first floor, there are four wood mullioned windows, while the ground floor has one wood casement window to the left and one segmental bay window to the right. The entrance is marked by a glazed door situated in a central gabled porch that has a carved bargeboard.
