Description
Oakleigh is a house dating from the 16th to early 17th century, which has been altered and extended. The two original bays on the left feature whitewashed rubble stone on the ground floor, with a jettied first floor supported by a timber frame and whitewashed herringbone brick infill above a moulded wooden cornice with dentils. To the right, there is a 19th-century bay made of whitewashed brick, with a plank at the first floor level and a rendered gable. The house has tiled roofs and brick stacks on the right side of each section, with the stack on the older part having a thin brick base. The older section has one and a half storeys, with 3-light barred wooden casements in 19th-century half-timbered gabled dormers. The ground floor features late 19th-century 3-light casements with barred top lights and a two-storey 19th-century bay. There is a panelled door with a top light to the right of the older part.
