Description
Tanglewood is a house dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with a later 17th-century wing added to the rear left, a 19th-century wing to the rear right, and a restoration in the 20th century. The building is timber framed and clad in whitewashed render on the front range, with an exposed flint rubble plinth and red brick infill on the rear wing; the later wing is made of whitewashed brick. It features plain tiled roofs, which were restored in the 20th century, with a half-hip on the left side. Originally, the house had an L-shaped plan, with the later 17th-century wing positioned at right angles to the rear. The structure has two storeys, with a ridge stack located to the right of the centre and another stack to the right. The front range consists of three framed bays, with the right bay rebuilt, and three casement windows on each floor; the ground floor windows have cambered heads. There is a larger 20th-century window to the left of centre on the ground floor. A ribbed door is positioned to the right of centre, sheltered by a 20th-century hip-roofed hood supported by pillars. The rear gable features a queen post truss with reused timbers, and some of the framing is exposed internally.
