Carpoles

Carpoles is a house with an attached stable hayloft, dating from the late 17th century. It features a two-bay design with an end chimney stack and was extended in the early 19th century. The building was refaced in the late 19th or early 20th century. It has a timber-framed structure, with the exterior now covered in roughcast on the ground floor and tile-hung on the first floor. The roof is tiled and includes one off-centre and one end brick chimney stack.

The house is two storeys tall and has three windows. The early 20th-century casements have leaded lights. On the first floor, there are two mullioned and transomed windows along with one casement. The ground floor features three canted oriel windows. The left side has a doorcase with a four-panelled door and a late 19th-century gabled porch supported by piers with wooden balusters. To the right, there is a similar doorcase with a weatherhood on brackets.

Attached to the left is a brick and roughcast lean-to. The right side has a painted brick stable/hayloft with a gable that includes a small window with a pegged architrave, a loading door below, and a plank door in a cambered opening leading to the ground floor. There are also garage doors on the right-hand side. The rear elevation shows traces of close-studding on the right lean-to, while the right-hand side features early 19th-century brickwork on the ground floor. The left side displays early 19th-century diaper brickwork and alternating courses of plain and curved tiles on the first floor, along with two casements with leaded lights.

Inside the house, there is an open fireplace with a wooden bressumer and seats, an axial beam with a 2-inch chamfer, and a winder staircase. The interior also includes an early 18th-century two-panelled door and a three-plank door. The former stable retains its brick floor and manger but has been adapted into a workroom in the 20th century. The stable's roof features queen posts and a ridge post.

Carpoles was part of the Jayes estate and is said to have been used for carriages and horses, later serving as a workspace for an estate carpenter.
