Finings

Finings is a house dating from the late 17th and 18th centuries, with alterations and extensions made in the early 19th century. The main part of the house is built of flint with brick dressings to the lower walls, while the upper storey is raised in a pattern of red and vitreous brick, laid in a chequered pattern dating to the early 19th century. One gable is tile hung, the other rendered. The roof is covered in old tiles, and there is a central square chimney built of brick.

The house originally comprised two bays, with an off-set plinth and a narrow band course just above the ground floor windows. It has 20th-century three-light leaded casement windows; those on the ground floor have segmental arches of header brick, and those on the first floor have gauged heads. A brick projection, dating from around 1840, originally served as a porch. It is two storeys high, with a shaped gable and two-light leaded casements. The upper window has a Tudor hoodmould, and the lower window is positioned within a blocked doorway with a four-centred arch and Tudor dripmould. A single-storey flint and brick extension, altered in the 20th century, is attached to the left. An early 19th-century flint and brick wing is set back at an angle to the right, with a hipped roof, one-and-a-half storeys, 20th-century leaded casements, and a 20th-century door.
