Description
Crucks is a small house, likely dating from the 16th century or earlier, with a 20th-century extension. It is constructed from limestone rubble and timber framing, with stone and brick infill, and has a plain tile roof featuring a brick gable stack. The building has a two-unit plan and is one storey plus attics. The front displays timber framing on the right side with brick infill, while the left gable wall showcases a cruck frame. There is an extension and a projecting wing on the right. The windows and dormers are from the 20th century.
Inside, the house features a nearly intact two-bay cruck structure. A central jowled post supports the original first floor in the right bay, and a 17th-century floor with chamfered and stopped joists has been inserted into the hall bay on the left. A large stack against the left gable wall, likely from the 17th century, includes an open fireplace with brick jambs and a bread oven. Additionally, a two-light window with diamond mullions can be seen on the inner face of the rear wall.
