Old Place

Old Place is a house that likely dates from the mid-16th century, with extensions added in the early 17th century and late 17th to early 18th century, along with significant additions from the 20th century. The building features a timber frame with a brick plinth and whitewashed brick hogging, topped by a plain-tile roof with brick ridge stacks. Originally a single range, it has been modified to an L-plan and now presents a courtyard plan with a very small center. The house has one storey with an attic and two storeys overall.

The façade includes a six-window range of casements with leaded lights. The central mid-16th century section has a timber-framed porch and door. To the left, there is a two-light casement, and to the right, a similar casement along with a single-light casement. Above, there are a three-light and a two-light dormer. The early 17th-century cross-wing to the left features a large wood mullioned and transomed corner window and a two-light casement above. A large 20th-century extension to the right and rear is not of special architectural interest.

The left front facing the garden has a central timber-framed porch with a plank door. To the left is a two-light wood mullioned and transomed window, and to the right is the corner window. Above, there are three two-light casements. The late 17th-century cross-wing to the left has a large wood mullioned and transomed window (the center is likely from the 20th century) with a similar two-light window above and an attic casement. Additional casements are present on the left end of the cross-wing, along with the 20th-century extension to the rear.

Inside, the house features ceiling beams, one of which is moulded, and a dog-leg staircase. Some original roof timbers remain, including a double queen-post truss. The building was formerly known as Bottom House Farm.
