Converted Coach House To North East Wren House

No 32, known as Wren House, is a converted coach house dating from around 1720 or 1730. It is an excellent example of an early Georgian five-bay house, featuring two storeys and an attic beneath a hipped mansard roof covered with old tiles. The exterior is constructed of coursed rubble on a projecting plinth with moulded coping, a plain string course above the ground floor windows, and rusticated quoins. The building has a moulded and bracketed cornice and a parapet, with a slight central break that includes a pediment and a quoined bullseye.

On the first floor, there is a Venetian window, while the ground floor features a wide six-panel door with a Gibbs surround, a moulded and bracketed cornice, and narrow flanking windows. The sash windows have altered glazing, arranged in two ranges on each side of the centre, with architraves. Below the plinth, there are two small mullioned windows for the cellars. The roof includes two dormers with architrave surrounds, central keyblocks, and a cornice with a pediment.

Inside, the property retains several period features, including vaulted cellars, a fine oak staircase with three balusters to the tread, an uncut string with scrolls and guttae, and a scrolled end piece with a ramped dado. There is a two-light stair window with a stop-moulded mullion and an eared surround to the fireplace in a ground floor room to the right.

At the rear, there is a long former stable wing made of stone with brick quoins, which has been recently and well converted into accommodation, featuring reused glazing bar sash windows. The former coach house to the east has also been converted into a dwelling, standing at one and a half storeys with a brick lacing course and pigeon holes.
