Description
Oak House is a house dating from the 17th century, with later alterations. It is constructed of rubble, rendered with roughcast, and has a pantiled roof with raised coped verges and gable stacks. Originally, the house had diagonal chimneys. The layout is based on a through passage plan.
The house is three storeys high and has three windows on each principal elevation. The ground floor windows are two 8-light wooden mullion and transom windows, with some leaded lights remaining. The first floor has two similar 6-light windows. A two-storey gabled porch is centrally located and features an opening with a shaped head and a 4-light window at the first floor level. A heavy plank and batten door, featuring raised fillets, is set within a depressed 4-centred arch, itself framed by ovolo-moulded timber with elaborate stops. Benches are positioned on either side of the door, and a small single-light window is set within a heavy ovolo-moulded frame. The second floor has two small 2-light casements. The rear of the building and the interior are not accessible.
