Description
This is a late 15th or early 16th century timber-framed house that was significantly altered and given a mid-19th century Gothick style facade. It was originally known as Spring Cottage. The east elevation is now rendered over a battered plinth, while the south elevation displays the original timber framing. The roof is tiled, featuring 17th-century brick stacks and decorative 19th-century ridge tiles. A 19th-century stack is also at the hip.
The building is two stories high and has five windows on the front. The east elevation is rendered. A projecting two-story porch, built in the mid-19th century, features wavy bargeboards and a two-light 'Gothick' pointed sliding casement window above a planked and studded door framed by Tuscan columns and splat balustrades. Other first-floor windows on the east elevation are two-light Gothick sliding casements. The ground floor has a three-light casement on the left, a seven-light curved bay with Gothick lights, and a square bay with Gothick lights.
The south elevation is jettied with jowled posts and features curved tension bracing to both floors. It has two casements with marginal glazing on the first floor and three Gothick glazed casements on the ground floor. The north elevation is rendered and has two gables with bargeboards, one containing a clock. Late 19th-century additions to the rear are of brown brick with gables, some of which are tile-hung.
