Oldeacre

This is a farmhouse, now a house, with origins in the early 16th century. It was extended to the left to create a dairy and to the right shortly after the original build. An 18th-century rear wing was added, and there have been 20th-century alterations and additions. The exterior is of rubble, rendered, and originally thatched, now with a double Roman tiled roof, crestings, ridge, and gable stacks, and some pantiles. The building has a lobby-entry plan, with the rear wing forming a T-shape.

It is 1 1/2 storeys high, with 4 bays. The ground floor has five 2-light casement windows of differing sizes. A casement formerly had a gabled porch in front of the ridge stack. A single-storey 20th-century porch is on the right with a door and single light window. There are three gables, below roof ridge height, over three bays on the right, each with pierced bargeboards and a 2-light casement. A buttress is positioned to the right of the former doorway. When the render was removed, straight joints were observed on either side of the two centre rooms, indicating the original division. The left return has two small openings to either side of a stack, with pierced stonework for ventilation to the former dairy, and a 2-light casement at first floor, replacing a former flue. The right return has three single-light windows at ground floor, a single attic light, and a lean-to to the rear.

The rear has a catslide roof to ground floor level and a 2-storey rear wing attached to the second room from the right. A single-storey pantiled lean-to on the side has glazed doors and three 4-pane sash windows. The rear of the main range on the right features a ground floor 2-light casement, a blocked upper window, and a small 2-light casement under the eaves. A single-storey flat-roofed 20th-century addition is in the angle with the rear wing and features a plate-glass window and glazed door. The rear wing has two 2-light casements at first floor, one at ground floor, and two single lights at attic level in its gable end.

The interior retains a former lobby entry to the side of the stack. A room to the right has a wide fireplace with a heavy, cambered, chamfered lintel, scroll-stopped, and a 19th-century mantel shelf. There is an oven recess to the right and a possible site of a former stair to the rear of the room. A fine framed ceiling with 4 panels and deep-chamfered beams are also present. Doorframes are moulded on either side of the lobby entry. A door to the room to the left, with two raised panels and a latch, also has very deep-chamfered beams with step stops and battered walls, and a newel stair is behind a door towards the front left. Two wide steps lead down to a dairy in the end room. A wall has been removed from the end of the dairy room. A single deep-chamfered beam remains visible in the end room to the right, while others are boxed or renewed. Two doors in the rear wing have 17th-century carvings in their top panels; one depicts shields, the other cherubs' heads.

The first floor roof has been largely renewed. A room to the right of the ridge stack reveals stepped stack, a cupboard door, and possibly a former site of a stair. It has two bays, with principal rafters and one row of purlins, a collar at floor level, and an upper collar with a strut at the partition wall to the end room to the right. The room to the left of the stack also has principal rafters and one row of purlins, plus a 2-panelled door to the room over the dairy. A straight stair, set laterally in the rear wing, has panelled woodwork at the landing.
