Description

Number 28, known as Sturrick House, along with Number 26A, known as Cherry Cottage, is a house and attached cottage dating from the 16th century, with alterations. The building features a timber frame with painted roughcast on the upper part and painted brick on the under-built ground floor. It has an old tile roof that is half hipped to the right hand side and stands two storeys tall, with the upper storey formerly over-sailing.

On the first floor, there are two 3-light and two 2-light leaded casement windows. A 19th-century half-glazed door is located to the left of centre, flanked by two sash windows in flush frames. To the right of centre, there is a wide carriageway with wooden doors and a heavy moulded bracket on the right side. The right part of the building has been formed into a separate cottage, featuring a modern door and small window.

The rear elevation includes a 17th-century timber-framed two-storey wing with brick infill and an old tiled roof. There is a sash window on the first floor and modern glazed doors below. A chimney stack is located on the right flank, with a one-storey outshot on the right featuring a catslide tiled roof and a modern casement window. There is also a lean-to roofed cellar outshot on the extreme right, with a 2-light casement window above.

Inside, the ground floor right-hand room has two richly moulded ceiling beams and a large inglenook fireplace with a moulded beam in the form of a shallow Tudor arch. The left-hand room has an altered inglenook and exposed beams, including close-studding on the rear wall. The first floor features more close-studding and large tiebeams that are exposed. The rear wing has reused 17th-century oak run-through panelling on both floors.
