The Old Livery

The Old Livery is a house dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century. It features Flemish bond brickwork on a lower section of brick-laced flint walls, topped with a tiled roof. The building has two storeys, a cellar, and an attic, with a total of five bays. It has a central stair hall plan and a narrow service lean-to at the rear, which was extended around 1970 by four bays.

The entrance includes a central glazed door with a blocked overlight, and the original pedimented canopy has been removed. The windows are paned casements with gauged brick arches and a plat band. The eaves are moulded plaster, and there are two hipped dormers along with gable stacks.

Inside, the layout consists of timber-framed partitions that create a parlour to the left of the hall and a kitchen to the right. The spine beams have run-out and nicked chamfer stops. An oak stair with a closed string is located in the rear lean-to. The cellar is original, and the roof has three bays, with a narrower bay in the center, featuring trusses with collars and mounted purlins.
