133 AND 135, BINSCOMBE LANE

Nos. 133 and 135 on Binscombe Lane are two houses that were originally built in the 16th or 17th century and have undergone alterations in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The structure is timber-framed with painted brick infill. The left part, No. 133, was refronted in the 18th century using galleted rubble-stone with brick dressings, while the right part features an added bay made of painted brick in Flemish bond on a rubblestone plinth. The roof is covered with plain tiles and the building has two storeys with four bays, the right-hand bay being an addition and set back.

No. 133 has brick quoins, a mid-20th century part-glazed door on the left, and a late-20th century small-pane window on the right, both under header-brick flat arches. On the first floor, there is a 4-pane window to the left and an 8-pane casement to the right, both positioned under the eaves. A stack is located at the rear.

No. 135 features a square-panelled timber-framed bay on the left with a sole plate and wall posts. There is a mid-20th century door on the right with a 2-light leaded casement window above, and a window on each floor to the left. The right bay has a 2-light leaded casement window on each floor, with a large stack to the right and another stack at the rear of No. 133. The rear of the building shows one bay of exposed timber framing. There is a rear wing addition to No. 133 and an outshut addition to No. 135, neither of which is considered of special interest.

Inside No. 135, the former end wall and other framing are exposed. The right-hand added bay features a chamfered spine beam with long run-out stops. The roof has been recorded as a replacement butt purlin roof according to a report by the Domestic Buildings Research Group.
