The Tanhouse

The Tanhouse is a house, likely dating back to the 16th century or earlier, and subsequently altered and extended in the early 19th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and is weatherboarded, featuring a plain tiled roof. The main range has a hip end facing the road and is two storeys high, with an attic space containing a half-hipped roof with gablets. A stack is located centrally to the rear (offset to the left of the house’s main axis), and a hipped dormer window is on the right side. A catslide extension projects to the right, incorporating a parapet to the ground floor. There are two further two-storey extensions to the left, each with their own end stacks. The upper floor has two three-light wooden casement windows, while the ground floor has two glazing bar sash windows and a central half-glazed door, sheltered by a flat hood supported on iron brackets.
