The Old House

The Old House is a late 16th century T-plan house that has undergone significant alterations and extensions in the late 18th to early 19th centuries. It includes an attached former stable wing from the 18th century. The original structure features a timber frame with herringbone brick infill, which is now covered with render. The extensions are made of rendered brick, and the building has old tile roofs with a central chimney that has four linked square shafts made of thin brick, which have been rebuilt. The main block has rendered parapets and is two storeys high with an attic.

The north front of the house has three bays, featuring 19th century three-light wooden casements in the outer bays and a small three-pane sash window with an architrave frame in the center of the first floor. There is a central gabled porch from the late 19th to early 20th century. Single-storey extensions are present at each end, with the right extension featuring a parapet and a stone plaque with a shield and the motto "Nec Prece/ Nec Pretio" in a brick surround. The right gable of the main block has a four-light leaded casement window in the attic. The rear of the house has seven bays of three-pane sash windows in moulded architrave frames with board hoods. The three central bays project slightly, forming a shallow gable with a minimal pediment that contains a blind roundel. Flanking hipped dormers have moulded cornices and paired leaded casements.

The stable wing is constructed of red and vitreous brick with moulded brick eaves, partly rebuilt in the 19th century on the north side, and features pebbledash over timber frame with brick infill on the south side. It has old tile roofs and flanking brick chimneys, standing at one and a half storeys with five bays. The south front has two gabled semi-dormers and a 19th to 20th century gabled projection in the center. The north front includes two carriage entries on the left and four-pane sash windows flanking a stable door with a barred rectangular fanlight to the right, all with segmental heads. There are three irregular openings on the first floor.

Inside, the house was remodeled in the early 19th century but still retains two moulded stone fireplaces with four-centred arches on the ground floor, as well as three similar fireplaces on the first floor.
