Oak House With Adjoining Linhay And Barn

Oak House is a farmhouse that dates from the late 16th to early 17th century. It has been altered and restored in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of red sandstone random rubble and features a thatched roof that is hipped to the right. There is a Bridgwater patent roof on the lower independently roofed wing to the right, a brick stack on the left gable end, and a large roughcast lateral stack to the right of the entrance.

Internally, the layout is thought to consist of three cells and a cross passage, along with a single-storey L-shaped wing. The property includes a two-bay linhay and an outbuilding that has an attached garage. The house is one and a half storeys high with four bays. It features early 19th-century two-light leaded iron casement dormers that rise from below the eaves, with three located to the left of the lateral stack and one renewed dormer to the right. The ground floor has a mix of 19th and 20th-century two-light casements, with the end bay on the right under a wooden lintel and the end bay on the left under a brick relieving arch. There is a single-storey slate-roofed projection to the left, a two-light casement, a studded door for the entrance, and a wooden trelliswork porch with a pantiled lean-to roof.

Inside, the property features chamfered beams with scroll stops, a left gable end fireplace with a renewed lintel, and evidence of a curing chamber projection on the left. The original winder stair with stone steps is located on the right, and the lateral stack fireplace has been rebuilt. The roof has collar beams with through purlins, and a circular pier of the linhay is still present in the wing. This farmhouse has been sensitively restored.
