Description

This house, located at 31 Ladys Lane, dates from the mid-16th century, with later additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is built of regular coursed lias stone with ashlar dressings, and features a roof made of brick, plain tiles, and slate. The original layout was a three-unit plan, and the house has two storeys.

The gable elevation facing the road has a three-light stone mullion window on the ground floor and a two-light wood casement window on the first floor, which has a projecting sill and likely forms part of an original oriel. To the left, there is a 19th-century panelled door beneath a wood lintel. The gable has an ashlar parapet and a central ashlar stack with a moulded stone cornice. The right side elevation is blank, while the rear gable, which abuts the churchyard, features a blocked opening with a four-centred moulded stone head.

Attached to the left of the road elevation is a two-storey brick and stone wing, which has a three-window range of casements and 19th-century plank doors to the far left and in the return gable. The left elevation includes a semi-circular bread oven projection at the rear. Inside, there are two bread ovens with cast iron doors in the room to the left, as well as the base of an earlier roof structure, likely a raised cruck. The building is said to have been a religious house.
