The Old Forge

The Old Forge is a house comprising three 17th- to early 18th-century bays to the right, with a taller mid-19th-century bay to the left. The older part of the house is built of brick and render, with whitewash, and retains some timber framing in the left bay. It has an old tile roof and a brick chimney between the right bays. The house is two storeys high. Windows are mostly wooden casements with single horizontal glazing bars; a three-light window is found to the left and centre, a two-light window to the right, and a single light to the far left of the ground floor. A half-glazed door is situated between the right bays. Ground floor openings on the right have segmental brick heads. A later outshot extends to the rear. The 19th-century bay to the left has cogged eaves and larger three-light casements of a similar style, with a thickly painted gauged head over the ground floor window. It also has a 19th- or 20th-century half-glazed door to the right. The interior retains timber framing in the rear and cross walls, with angle bracing. A sunken pantry is located between the left bays, featuring slats over the door.
