The Well House

The Well House is a house that was formerly part of a barn, dating from the 17th century and altered over time. The right side features lower bays that incorporate an older cruck truss. The 17th-century section is timber framed with brick infill, displaying herringbone patterns in the center bays and whitewashed on the left bay, all resting on a rubble stone plinth. The left side wall was rebuilt in the 18th to 19th centuries using chequer brick. The two bays on the right are made of whitewashed brick and render, also on a rubble stone plinth. At the rear, there is a weatherboard barn. The roofs are thatched and half-hipped on the right and at the front of the left bay. There is a rebuilt brick chimney in the center and smaller brick chimneys at the gables. The building has one and a half storeys and five bays. The windows are irregular, with 20th-century two and three-light barred wooden casements, and those on the first floor of the center bays are set in thatch. There is a moulded brick cornice and pediment, which has been repointed, over the ground floor window in the second bay. The central lobby entry features a 20th-century board door with a smaller two-light casement above in thatch. Inside, the house includes stop-chamfered spine beams, similar joists, and a winder stair aligned with the stack.
