Dawes Mead

Dawes Mead is a house that dates back to the 16th century, with a 20th-century extension on the right and a 19th-century extension at the rear. The building has a timber frame set on a rendered plinth, featuring whitewashed brick cladding below and tile hanging above. The frame is exposed on the first floor of the left-hand return front. It has a plain tiled roof that is hipped with end gablets and an L-shaped plan due to the 19th-century wing at the rear.

The house is two storeys tall and has a 20th-century stack to the left of centre, a 17th-century stack to the right of centre, and another 20th-century stack to the right. There is one leaded casement window at each outer end of the first floor, and a half-hipped on-eaves dormer to the left of centre. The centre and left sides feature two leaded 20th-century casement windows, with casement doors to the right. A four-panel door provides access to the lobby entry, located to the right of centre.

To the right end, there is a single-storey hip-roofed extension. The rear wing has irregular leaded fenestration and a flat-lintelled throughway at the junction with the front range, along with a pentice at the end. An entrance porch is situated at the angle with the front range. Inside, stop-chamfered joists can be seen in the ground floor ceiling frames, along with windbracing and jowled main posts visible on the first floor. Some old oak floorboards are still present.
