Description
The property is a house located at 41 High Street, Standlake, along with an attached wall and an outbuilding situated within the garden of 47 High Street. It dates from the late 15th century, originally built for the Yate family, and has undergone remodelling in the 17th century, with a rear wing added in the late 18th century and alterations to the front in the mid 19th century, along with further extensions. The house was originally timber-framed; close-studding is visible on the porch and the left-hand side of the front elevation, set on a limestone rubble plinth. The remainder of the front is built of coursed limestone rubble. The roof is gabled and covered in stone slate, with an 18th-century brick stack at the left end and a 17th-century stone ashlar stack at the right end, finished in mid 19th-century brick, and a mid 19th-century brick stack to the right. It is a two-storey hall house retaining part of the original hall and parlour. The front has a two-storey, late 15th-century porch with a 20th-century door and late 15th-century four-light, hollow-chamfered wood-mullioned windows to the sides. Above, there is a similar first-floor front window with mid-19th-century mullions and 15th-century cinquefoiled heads. A blocked 15th-century hall window is visible beneath the eaves to the left of the porch. Other windows include a mid-19th-century three-light casement and tripartite sash windows, alongside two canted bay windows with sashes to the right, and a gabled right bay rebuilt in the mid-19th century. A late 18th-century rear right wing is constructed of similar materials, with 19th-century rear extensions.
Inside, the 15th-century parlour to the right features quartered and moulded beams with the Yate gate device carved on each boss, alongside a moulded cornice and a frieze with Tudor roses and cross-keys to the overmantel over rebuilt 15th-century fireplaces. Exposed timber framing on the rear wall reveals the hollow-chamfered jamb of a former 15th-century doorway. The first floor has a late 15th-century hollow-chamfered fireplace with red-ochre spandrels and a moulded cornice. A hollow-chamfered arch-braced roof is partly visible.
The property also includes approximately 35 metres of 18th-century limestone rubble wall topped with stone coping, and attached to it is a thatched stone and weatherboarded outbuilding to the right.
