Witchert House

Witchert House is a house dating from the 17th century, with extensions added to the rear in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is constructed of witchert, which is colourwashed and roughcast on a colourwashed rubble plinth, and features old tile roofs. It has two storeys and two bays, with a central board door and 3-light leaded casements in the outer bays. Above the door is a 17th-century 2-light mullioned window with diagonal bars, now glazed on the outer side. The house has a central stack made of thin bricks from the 17th century, with stairs in front, creating a lobby entry plan. The north-east gable is rendered, while the south-west gable is half-hipped and roughcast on brick. There is a ground floor sash window in the south-west gable. At the rear, there is a double-gabled witchert addition that is colourwashed and has masonry scribed render with dentil eaves. The gables are made of rubble, with the south gable featuring dentils and a band. The south-west range is from the 18th century, and the south-east range is from the 19th century. Inside, the house has chamfered and stopped spine beams on the ground and first floors, as well as an inglenook fireplace.
