Description
This is a house located at 13 Townsend, dating from the 17th century and altered in the 18th century. It is built of witchert, which is colourwashed and rendered on a rubblestone plinth, also colourwashed and rendered. The house features a thatched roof that is half hipped on the left side and hipped on the right. It has two storeys and two bays, with a central four-panel door, the upper two panels being glazed, and a flat hood supported by curved brackets. The windows are box sashes, with four panes on the ground floor and three panes on the first floor. There is a central stack made of 17th-century thin bricks, creating a 'lobby entry' plan. To the left, there is a thatched garage, and there are also single-storey additions to the right and rear of the house.
