Hamme House

Hamme House is a house that dates back to the 16th century, with extensions from the 17th century and larger extensions added to the rear in the early 19th century. The building features a timber-framed section on a brick plinth, with whitewashed brick cladding below and alternating bands of fishscale and diamond pattern tile hanging above. There are brick end piers, and the house has low hipped slate roofs with two rendered ridge stacks positioned to the left and right of the center.

The plan of the house is C-shaped, with parallel ranges facing the street and a courtyard formed between them on the right-hand return front. It is two storeys tall and has three tripartite glazing bar sash windows across the first floor and three on the ground floor below. To the left of center, there is a 20th-century flat brick and glazed porch with glazed outer doors flanked by fluted pseudo-pilasters. A half-glazed 19th-century panelled door is located within this porch.

On the left-hand return front, there is a planked and studded door in a large timber and partly glazed porch with a bracketed gable above. The right-hand return front features two projecting end wings, with a 19th-century angle bay window at the ground floor end of the left wing. In the center of the ground floor in the recessed range, there is a wood ovolo mullioned window, and a half-glazed door to the left of center in the recessed range has a pentice roofed open porch to its left.

Inside, the earliest brick part of the house contains two dated and panelled overmantels from 1583 and 1592. The ground floor rooms in the front range have chamfered ceiling beams.
