The Old House

The Old House is a detached house dating from the early 18th century, with additions made in the mid-18th century. The early part features Flemish bond brickwork with a flint and stone plinth, while the mid-18th century section on the right is built in English bond. The house has a tiled roof and brick stacks, forming an L-plan structure. It is two stories high with a six-window front.

The entrance is through double doors located under a segmental hood supported by elaborately carved wooden brackets. To the right of the doorway are two 4-pane sash windows, and to the left is another 4-pane sash window. The early 18th century section also includes 20th-century metal casements and a glazed door, with lozenge diapering in the brickwork. On the first floor, there are 20th-century metal casements to the left and four 4-pane sashes to the right, topped by dentilled brick eaves. A flat-headed dormer with a casement is present as well.

The left side of the house features a rendered external stack, while the right side has a single fixed window in the attic. At the rear, there is an 18th-century outshut with two half-glazed doors and sashes with segmental-arched heads, along with a two-story mid-19th century extension that has sash windows. The early 18th century part includes 20th-century metal casements.

Inside, the early 18th century section retains chamfered beams with ogee stops. The mid-18th century part features a newel staircase with turned balusters and a moulded dado rail. The dining room has a late 18th century moulded ceiling cornice and frieze. On the first floor, doors have fielded panels, and there is a coved ceiling cornice along with an eared fireplace surround with a cornice.
