Description
Ockley is a house with a front dating from the 18th century, built over an older structure. It features a timber frame and is weather-boarded, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building consists of two parallel ranges and has two storeys. The hipped roof has boxed eaves and stacks that project at both ends. The front has a regular arrangement of windows, with two tripartite glazing bar sashes on each floor and a central single glazing bar sash on the first floor. The ground floor has a door with six raised panels, topped by a semi-circular fanlight and a late 20th-century flat hood supported by brackets. To the left, there is a single-storey hipped extension that includes a large wooden casement. At the back, there is a wing with a steeply pitched hipped roof and a central stack, which retains the frame of an earlier structure that dates back to at least the 16th century.
