Description

The Old House is a house with a late 16th-century bay and an 18th-century to early 19th-century cross wing to the right, creating an L-shaped layout. A further bay was added to the rear of the cross wing around 1950, and another wing was built around 1950, connecting to the rear left corner of the 16th-century bay. The 16th-century section has been partly rebuilt in whitewashed brick but retains a timber frame with a jettied upper story. The cross wing is constructed of flint with brick dressings, with the upper story partly roughcast and all surfaces whitewashed. The 20th-century extensions are of matching style, and the rear left wing is half-timbered with a jettied upper story supported on decorative brackets. The house has old tile roofs. A square brick chimney is located to the right of the 16th-century bay, with a later gabled staircase projection facing the front. The house has two stories and an attic. Windows are irregular 20th-century barred wooden and leaded casements. A French door is present in the 16th-century bay, and the main entrance is within a 20th-century gabled porch on the right side of the cross wing. Inside, the house features stop-chamfered spine beams and original board doors.
