Jockeys

Jockeys is a house that likely dates back to the early 17th century, with alterations made in the late 18th to early 19th centuries and further changes thereafter. It features a timber frame set on a rubblestone plinth, clad in mathematical tile, tile-hanging, pinkish brick in Flemish bond, and concrete render. The roof is covered with plain tiles, and there is a stack made of old orangey brick.

The house has two storeys with an attic and consists of three bays, with the left-hand bay added, likely in the early 19th century. The north elevation, which is the entrance side, has the ground floor of the two right bays clad in late 18th to early 19th century black mathematical tile, with quoins of red mathematical tile at the ends and around the windows. The first floor and the left bay are tile-hung. A large wall post is partially exposed in the centre, along with the eaves plate and rafter feet, which are old at the centre.

In the centre of the right-hand bays, there is a board door in a later opening, flanked by wide three-light windows with four-pane lights and side-sliding sashes. There is a similar window in the left bay on the ground floor and another on the first floor of the second bay. The original stack on the ridge, aligned with the door, has four flues, with the central two recessed and featuring a cornice.

The rear of the house is rendered and scored to resemble ashlar, with an eight-pane two-light side-sliding sash window and a board door on the left, and another board door with a similar three-light window on the right. There is a single-flue stack on the left side of the outshut. The left return has a brick ground floor, with the first floor rendered and the gable tile-hung, featuring a two-light attic window. The right return has a window on the first floor and attic.

The interior has not been inspected, but beams and a timber-framed wall with fairly large panels were observed at the former left end, between the left-hand bays. The building was noted to be in a state of disrepair at the time of inspection.
