Cooks Place

Cooks Place is a hall house dating from the 15th century to the left and centre, with a 17th-century cross wing to the right. It was restored and extended to the rear in the mid-19th century. The building is timber framed, with the left side having exposed timber and colourwashed rendered infill, colourwashed brick cladding to the ground floor and left end, and rendered cladding to the centre. The roofs are plain tiled, with gables and hips of varying heights. The hall house section is in the centre, flanked by cross wings, with a 19th-century extension to the left.

The front elevation features two storeys on a plinth, with several stacks, including one to the far left, one to the left of centre, a rear centre stack, and a stack to the front right of centre. The right-hand cross wing has a prominent ribbed and corbelled stack to its ridge. There is one cambered head casement window on each floor of the left-hand extension, the first-floor window placed under a label moulding. The hall section features three framed bays, with two first-floor windows, a gabled dormer with wavy edge bargeboards on the first floor, and a casement window under a label moulding. The ground floor has two casement windows. The left cross wing has a crown post gable end with wavy edged bargeboards and a first-floor casement window. The right-hand cross wing is jettied on the first floor and to the gable, exhibiting close stud framing on the ground and first floors, supported by a moulded bressumer. Decorative circular and semi-circular framing is present in the gable. A three-light, leaded first-floor casement window and a ground floor angle bay window are also present. A large, half-glazed 19th-century porch with wavy edged bargeboards carved with oak leaves is situated to the right of centre, featuring chamfered door posts and an arched entrance, with trefoil decoration in the gable. The porch has half-glazed outer doors with two-arched lights, and a half-glazed inner door. A brick porch with a stepped top and a chamfered brick Tudor arched entrance, with a part-glazed inner door, is located to the left of centre. A timber framed wing, at a right angle to the rear, uses curved bracing.

The rear of the building was remodelled in the 19th century, featuring three gables across the front and four sash windows under cambered heads and label mouldings. Two crenellated square bays are present on the ground floor.
