Description
Tudor House is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the early to mid-19th century and later. The exterior is whitewashed render, likely over a timber frame, with an irregular plinth. It has a 20th-century tiled roof, ornamental bargeboards, a rendered chimney with a cornice top and arched cowl between the right bays, and a smaller brick chimney to the right. The building has a cellar and attic. The first floor is jettied to the front and left side, supported by 19th-century brackets. The front jetty has a moulded plaster cornice with pointed arch motifs. There are three bays. The ground floor has 19th-century barred bow windows with wooden cornice tops; the one to the left is larger, featuring seven rows of four leaded panes and a dentil cornice. The first floor has 3-light wooden casements with 20th-century glazing. A 20th-century door is located between the left bays. A small extension with a hipped slate roof is on the right. The right gable has a small 2-light leaded casement in the attic and the left gable has 20th-century leaded cross casements and a cellar opening with a metal grille. A 20th-century range extends at right angles to the rear.
Inside, the central room features finely moulded cross beams. A large open fireplace has a finely carved wooden lintel, likely re-used, in the form of a very shallow 4-centred arch with carved spandrels, and a frieze ornamented with stars, rosettes and arrows in cusped panels. A carved stone crest above the lintel displays similar motifs and a bishop's mitre on a shield. Curved wind-braces are visible in the roof. An early 19th-century corner fireplace is in the left room.
