Spoute House

House, later a shop, dating to around 1500. It began as an open hall house with two main bays and additional bays at the ends. The northwestern bay is jettied, and the interior shows a ceiling and inserted chimneystack from the 17th century and an 19th-century wing to the rear. The timber frame is exposed, showcasing curved tension braces on three bays, with the northwestern front projecting on brackets. The central two bays have been underbuilt with painted brick. The infill panels are plastered. The steeply-pitched tiled roof features gablets and a late 16th-century ribbed brick stack. A dormer window incorporates a triple casement. The house has 19th-century casement windows with leaded lights. A single-story, 19th-century stone wing extends to the northeast.

On the ground floor, a roll-moulded dais beam with brattishing is present. The two central bays feature a 16th-century spine beam with a 2-inch chamfer and run-out stops, along with similar floor joists. There is an open fireplace with a wooden bressumer and spice hole, and a roll-moulded door surround, likely from the late 16th century. Original square-section floor joists survive in the southeastern bay. A three-plank door on pintle hinges leads to a 19th-century extension.

The first floor is open to the roof, revealing original rafters and a central octagonal crownpost with four headbraces and a collar beam. A massive tie beam was cut to insert a chimney and a door. Original floorboards are throughout the house. Blocked mullion windows are located in the centre of the northeastern wall.

Internally, the hall retains a 16th-century fireplace with a chamfered bressumer and a single slat hole. A dais beam remains. There is a moulded door surround, probably from the later 16th century, and a moulded crown-post with dowels on partially surviving arched bracings. Roof structure includes a queen post truss.
