Cannons

Cannons is a farmhouse that dates from the 15th or early 16th century, with alterations likely made in the 17th century. The building features rendered infill, which includes at least some wattle and daub, within a timber frame and has a thatched roof. It is a four-bay, two-storey structure, with much of the upper storey incorporated into the roof space.

The facade facing the road has a 20th-century conservatory on the left, which is not of special interest. The windows are leaded lights, with a two-light casement and an iron opening light on the left. There is a long brace from the sill to the main post, a boarded door, and another two-light casement to the right. Above, there is a two-light casement in a swept dormer at the eaves level. To the right, there is another two-light casement and a blocked doorway. The framing changes from two panels high to three, and there is a half-glazed 20th-century door. The roof has a half hip on the left side and a brick chimney on the ridge to the right of the blocked doorway, with the ridge slightly dropping to the right.

On the left gable, there is a wavy cruck truss and an external brick stack with three offsets. There is also a semi-circular, random rubble projection on the left for an oven, which has a nearly flat top. A two-light casement window is located in the gable.

Inside, there are stop-chamfered stone jambs surrounding a wide fireplace at the right end. The left end features a heavy chamfer on the ceiling beam, and exposed chamfered ceiling joists are present throughout the ground floor, except in the end bay on the right. There are ladder-like stairs at each end leading to the upper floor. The left end has a second cruck, while the rest of the structure has collar trusses. The original three-bay house was enlarged by one bay to the right in the 17th century.
