Church House

This is a house, dating from the 15th century, originally a timber-framed structure with stone slate roofs, and featuring a south-facing stack. The main part of the house has exposed timber framing with substantial vertical supports, a projecting upper floor, and a stone plinth with six low buttresses. The upper floor displays curved tension braces, and contains two triple-paned windows on the left side and a single window on the right. The ground floor features an early 19th-century shopfront on the left side with a bowed window containing 32 panes, flanked by smooth panels. A four-panel door and a six-pane window are situated on the right side. The original low-plank doorway is set within a moulded oak frame, slightly right of centre, followed by a small original three-light timber oriel window and a casement pair. A single, large moulded post extends up to the projecting upper floor between the oriel window and the end window. The south wall is of brick, while the north wall is timber-framed. A lower, two-storey timber-framed addition dating from the 17th century is attached to the north side, characterized by square framing, straight tension braces, and two casement windows, with an end stack. The interior was not inspected but is believed to have been a former hall-house.
