Description
The Spinney is a house dating from the 15th and 17th centuries. It features a combination of witchert, which is a type of clay and straw mixture, that is colourwashed and rendered, as well as timber framing with plastered infill on the upper floor and rubblestone on the ground floor at the rear. The roof is thatched and hipped to the left. The house has four bays and two storeys, with a door located in the centre of the right bay, accessed through a lean-to porch. Windows include two and three-light casements. The rear elevation has two doors and irregularly placed casements, mostly two-light, on the timber-framed upper floor. There are stacks situated between the left and right bays. The south-west or left gable elevation features a two-light eaves dormer and two two-light casements on the ground floor. There is also a flat-roofed single-storey addition at the south-west. Inside, the property has chamfered and stopped spine beams and fireplace lintels, along with a cruck truss on the right, which is now enclosed by an additional bay added around 1984.
