Cherry Pie

This is a house, dating from the mid to late 16th century with alterations in the early 19th century. It was originally timber-framed and is located on the east side of Couching Street, Watlington. The front of the house is colourwashed brick and features a gabled roof covered in old tiles, with brick chimney stacks. The building is in an L-shape, including a rear wing to the left. The front of the house is two storeys high and has a one-window range. A broken pediment sits above the four-panelled front door, and early 19th-century sash windows are set within a canted bay. There is an outshut to the rear right. The rear wing dates from the late 16th century and comprises a two-storey, two-bay range. The right side of the rear wing's first floor has jettied square timber framing with tension braces, and includes sliding sash and 19th-century iron casement windows, topped by a gabled roof with a rear end stack.

Inside the front range of the house are a jowled and moulded post against a chamfered beam, a chamfered and stopped bressumer over an open fireplace, and an 18th-century cupboard with panelled doors on the first floor. The roof is an 18th-century three-bay collar truss design, complete with clasped purlins and curved windbraces, and incorporates the adjoining property at number 58. The rear wing contains quartered, chamfered, and stopped beams, consistent with its age, and a similar two-bay roof structure.
