Description
Cromwell House is a house dating from around 1600, constructed of coursed rubble stone with timber lintels over the openings and a thatched roof. It features a small brick stack on the left gable and two other rebuilt stacks made of thin brick, with square shafts set diagonally—two of these are located between the left-hand bays, and a single shaft is on the right gable. The house is 1½ storeys tall and consists of three bays. The windows are irregular wooden casements, which were renewed in the 20th century, with a 4-light window in the ground floor left-hand bays and 2-light windows in the right and on the first floor. The upper windows are set in small gables with thatch swept around them.
There is a lobby entry between the left-hand bays that features a 9-panelled, studded door made of old oak within a moulded and stopped frame, along with small staircase windows to the left, one of which is blocked. There is also a blocked doorway between the right-hand bays. Inside, the house has massive stop-chamfered spine beams and joists, and there are fragments of paintings from around 1600 on the front wall. The staircase located in front of the stack has old treads.
