Description
Hockley House is a 15th-century house located on Church Road in Throwley. It features a timber-framed structure with exposed painted brick infill and weatherboarding, topped by a plain tiled roof. The house stands two storeys high on a plinth and showcases small panel framing with a returned jetty to the right supported by dragon posts. The roof is hipped with gablets and has stacks positioned to the centre left and rear right.
On the first floor, there are two wooden casements, while the ground floor has three casements and a central boarded door set within a four-centred arched surround. The house also has catslide outshots on both the left and right sides. Notably, the left-hand bays are later additions that extend into the jettied right-hand bay, which was originally roofed separately and hipped to face the right return.
