Description
The Lawn, including the barn at the rear, is a pair of houses dating to the late 16th century, with a 17th-century wing added at right angles to the rear, and further rebuilding in the 18th century. The walls are roughcast and colourwashed, likely over a rubble core, with an asbestos slated roof that is hipped on the left and gabled on the right. There are two brick stacks, one off-ridge to the left and one on the ridge to the extreme right. The original layout may have been of three units with a through-passage, and the plan evolved to include two large rooms flanked by an 18th-century entrance hall. Later wings were added in the 17th century, forming a U-shaped plan, with a barn at right angles across the rear, creating a quadrangle. The front has two storeys and five windows, with 4-pane double-hung sashes in most openings. A 2-light casement window is present on the first floor to the extreme right, and a 20th-century canted bay window sits on the ground floor. There are two door openings, both with 20th-century doors; the left door is recessed and has a wooden ledge hood, while the right door also has a ledge hood and a 20th-century half-glazed door with a sidelight. Inside, there is 18th-century joinery including doors, architraves, and two staircases. The 17th-century wing features chamfered ceiling beams. The roof above one house has a late 16th-century jointed cruck truss with side-pegged posts running down to the ground, a morticed ridge with a diagonal ridge-piece and threaded purlins (now absent). The remainder of the roof is 20th century. The barn has an 18th-century pegged roof.
