Pimms

Pimms is a house likely dating from the mid- to late 17th century, with substantial remodelling and partial rebuilding around 1700. It is constructed using a framed structure, with the ground floor bricked and the first floor tile-hung, and has a peg-tile roof. Brick stacks are also present.

The original layout seems to have been a two-room main range, with a larger room to the north (left) containing a central entrance and heated by an end stack, and a smaller room to the south (right). A central rear staircase projection, along with a rear left outshut, likely dates from this initial phase. The brickwork suggests a rear right outshut existed, later enlarged in the 19th century into a two-storey kitchen wing projecting at right angles. A single-room block with a rear outshut to the north of the main range, potentially an 18th-century outbuilding, has subsequently been incorporated into the house.

The house faces west, presenting a roughly symmetrical two-window facade with a moulded fascia at the first floor and deep sprocketted eaves. A centrally located 19th-century panelled front door is sheltered by an 18th-century flat porch hood supported on shaped brackets, although the porch has been altered with the addition of plain timber sides. The ground floor has two-light casements with six panes per light, while the first floor also has two-light casements. Straight brick joints on the front elevation indicate the ground floor windows have been altered. The main block has a gabled roof, with a left-end stack featuring staggered shafts and a corbelled brick cornice. The block adjoining the left has a lower roofline, hipped at the left end. The rear-right (southeast) wing has a gable-ended roof and a corner stack. A wall post descending to the footings is preserved in the rear centre projection.

Inside the larger, north-heated room, there is a scroll-stopped crossbeam and exposed joists. A large fireplace features a chamfered lintel and two keeping places. The smaller, south room has a reeded 19th-century timber chimney-piece. The roof is said to have pegged joints. The house maintains an association with a charity documented from the 1690s.
