Description

Finch's is a house that dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, with a 20th-century addition. It features a timber frame that is clad with rendered brick and weatherboard, topped with a thatched roof. The building has a truncated L-shape and stands two storeys high with a hipped roof. There is a central rear stack, a Gothic-traceried wooden casement window, a wooden casement window on the first floor, and a boarded door located in a gabled porch to the left. Inside, there are two wings of different but unclear dates, centered around a large 17th-century red brick stack.
