Miswells House

Miswells House is a house with a west wing dating back to the 16th century or earlier, and an east wing of 1902. The west wing is a timber-framed building with plaster infill, resting on a sandstone base, and underbuilt in brick on the west side. The south side has a partially tile-hung gable concealed by a lead roof, with an external brick chimneystack, and a further tall external brick chimneystack to the east. The roof is tiled. Facing north, there are jowled posts, mullioned windows with leaded lights, and a porch from 1902 bearing an inscription. The west side reveals the timber frame to the first floor, including down braces. 19th-century casement windows are present. A lean-to, potentially a brewhouse, bakehouse or wash-house is located on the south side. The east side is obscured by the 1902 addition. An inscription on the east wing states: "This house was built in the reign of Queen Elizabeth and restored in the reign of King Edward the Seventh by Sir Weetman Pearson Bart. 1902".

Inside, the frame is substantial, showcasing a crown post with two down braces and a head brace, exposed rafters to the first floor, stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, chamfered floor joists to the ground floor, and exposed rafters. An ornate carved fireplace on the first floor is likely architectural salvage from 1902, and carved motifs may also date from this restoration.
