Buddens

Buddens is a detached house that dates from the 17th and 18th centuries, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is built of rubble stone and features a hipped thatched roof with an axial brick stack. The east wing, which is partly constructed of brick, has a tiled roof. The house is designed in an L-shape and has two storeys plus an attic, with a three-window front.

The ground floor includes a blocked door with a two-light casement window to the left of the centre, and two modern two-light casements on either side, along with a single-light casement on the right. On the first floor, there are three modern two-light casements, and the attic features two raking dormers with three-light wooden casements. The two-storey wing that projects to the right has a glazed door in a trellis porch to the left, two two-light casements, and a blocked doorway to the right. The first floor of this wing is raised and includes a single-light casement and three two-light casements.

Attached to the right of the wing is a modern single-storey extension. The rear of the wing has a planked door in a gabled porch and two-light casements. The rear of the main range features three-light, single, and two-light casements, along with a modern glazed door with casements on the first floor. There is also a modern flat-roofed extension attached to the right return.

Inside, the house has large open fireplaces in the main stack, with the sitting room featuring a cambered chamfered lintel on stone jambs, and a former kitchen to the north that has a renewed lintel and bread ovens, along with chamfered beams with stepped stops. The sitting room also includes a corner fireplace and a dado with recessed panelling at the south end, as well as winding stairs against the rear wall. Originally, the building was two cottages but has since been converted back into a single dwelling.
