Description
St Johns Timbers is a pair of cottages that were originally a house, dating back to the 16th century and restored in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame with a painted brick ground floor and a close-studded first floor that has rendered infilling. It has a plain tiled roof with end stacks and stands two storeys high. There is a continuous jetty over the ground floor, which is slightly stepped up to the right. The building has an irregular arrangement of windows, with four on the first floor and four on the ground floor. The ground floor includes lattice casements, with the left pair featuring bow windows set back within deep reveals, while to the right there is a small canted bay beneath the jetty. To the right of the almost central door, there is an ovolo-moulded mullioned window.
