Vallender

Vallender is a house dating from the early 17th century, with some parts rebuilt in the 19th century. It features a timber frame that has been partly refaced and rebuilt in brick, topped with a clay plain tile roof that has gabled ends and brick axial stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan, with the east wing at a lower ground floor level. The large room in the west wing is situated over a cellar and is heated by an axial stack, which is positioned against a two-room plan in the east wing, where the north room serves as the kitchen. There is a 19th-century outshut in the angle.

The exterior consists of two storeys and an attic in the west wing, while the east wing has one storey and an attic on a higher ground level. The east front features two plank doors on either side of the centre and a small two-light casement window on the left, all with cambered brick arches. There is also a raking dormer above the eaves on the left with a three-light casement. The north elevation displays a timber-framed gable on the left and exposed timber-framing on the north wall of the west wing to the right, which includes a plank door with a wooden lattice porch and a single-storey brick outshut in the angle. The west gable end has a window on each floor and a doorway on the left, all featuring cambered arches.

Inside, the house has stop-chamfered ceiling beams. The first-floor room in the west wing has a compartmented ceiling with a chamfered intersecting beam and a fireplace with a chamfered bressummer. The staircase in the attic has a 17th-century balustrade, with thick turned balusters and a splat-shaped newel topped with a finial, along with a moulded handrail. Doorways have cambered heads, and there are two carved panels: one features lunettes and a guilloche frieze, while the other has an incised geometric design. The west wing has a tenoned purlin roof, while the east wing has trenched through purlins.
