93, Southend

No. 95 Southend is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the 16th or 17th century. It is timber-framed with some brick infill, standing on an ashlar plinth, and features a thatched roof with ridge stacks. The building has a three-bay lobby-entry plan and is one storey plus attics. The entrance is located in the left bay, with one 20th-century casement window in each bay, likely in their original positions, and dormers in the centre and right bays. The framing consists of two rows of rectangular panels rising from the stone plinth, while the rear and left gable wall have stonework that extends to the height of the storey. There is a tiled oven projection and a blocked wood-mullioned window at the rear. The left gable is infilled with brick, featuring herring-bone patterns in one panel, and includes an owl-hole. The roof is half-hipped. Inside, there are large open fireplaces with an intact bread-oven, and a complete beam structure with curved wind-braces supporting each bay of the roof. This building formerly belonged to Christ Church College, Oxford, and is said to have operated as a public house, The Seven Bells, until the early 20th century.
