Description
Oakhurst is a house that likely dates back to the late Medieval period and features a 16th-century brick chimneystack that was added later. The building has been restored in the 20th century. It is timber-framed and has tile hanging on its exterior. The roof is tiled and hipped at the west end, with an off-center, panelled 16th-century chimneystack and brick stacks at either end. The house has two storeys and contains four windows, which are casement windows. There is also a 20th-century porch.
