Old Passage House

Old Passage House is a house with origins in the 16th century, which was refronted in the early 18th century and has undergone alterations and additions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of rubble, rendered except for the porch, and features a plain tiled roof that is pantiled at the rear, with overhanging eaves and irregular brick stacks. It has an L-plan layout, originally designed with a two-room through passage plan.

The house stands three storeys high and has four windows, all of which are sashes with thick glazing bars set in plain surrounds. The second floor features windows with only six panes each. A 17th-century porch is located in the second bay from the right; it has a flat roof with a cornice, an elliptical window in a moulded rectangular surround with carved foliage in the spandrels, and a bull's eye window to the side with balls in the spandrels. The porch includes a modern outer door and a heavy studded 14-panelled inner door. There is a weathered cornice above the ground and first-floor windows, five S-shaped ties, and raking buttresses on the southwest side with two windows on the lower level and three on the upper, all of which are 19th-century sashes in plain reveals. The rear of the house has all 20th-century windows.

Inside, the two front rooms feature heavy moulded beams with run-out stops and are now open-plan to the left. The front right room has walls approximately one metre thick and a dado rail. The first-floor front right room contains a moulded and stopped door frame, with the same beams as below. There is an early 19th-century round-headed stair window at the rear with splayed glazing bars, and a late 20th-century stair.
