Church Steps

Church Steps is a house dating from the early 16th century, with a later 16th-century cross wing on the left. It features a timber frame set on a whitewashed rubble stone plinth. The ground floor has an exposed frame with whitewashed brick infill, while the upper floor is tile hung, displaying a pattern of alternating fishscale and diamond-shaped tiles. The roofs are restored with plain tiles. There is a red and blue brick extension at the right end and brown brick infill on the left-hand return front. The building has a T-shaped plan and stands two storeys high, with the first floor jettied on braces at the cross wing. A cross ridge stack is located to the left of centre and another at the right end. The windows are irregularly arranged, with one 2-light leaded casement window on the first floor of the cross wing above a 3-light window below. There are four windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor on the centre right. A door is situated at the right-hand corner of the cross wing, with a ribbed and studded door to the right in a gabled porch. The extension on the right features two cambered head windows.
