The Village Salon Tudor House

The Village Salon and Tudor House is a house that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates back to the 15th century and was remodeled in the 16th and 17th centuries. The building features a timber frame, a tile roof, and brick stacks, forming an L-plan layout. There is a through-passage with a main east-west range and a cross wing at the eastern end. The main range, which is No.43, was encased in brick and rendered, and its roof was altered in the 19th century. This main range is two storeys high with five bays. The entrance, located in the second bay from the left, has a wooden lintel, a 20th-century door, and a gabled timber hood supported by brackets. All windows have rendered surrounds and 20th-century wooden casements.

The gabled wing, which is No.39, extends forward from the left side. It is also two storeys tall and has three bays. The ground floor walls are rendered, while the upper floor features exposed timber framing and a tile roof. The gable end has a cruck-derived structure with arched braces connecting the tie and collar to the principals, which have a square-set ridge piece at the apex. The side wall has widely spaced studding with arched braces. There is a 20th-century doorway on the street front with a 20th-century shop window to the left. The first floor has a three-light casement window with a wooden lintel, and there is a blocked 15th-century wooden window in the left bay of the first floor on the right side, which has two cusped lights with spandrels carved with foliage and a dragon. Two 20th-century casement windows are located to the right.

Inside, No.43 features 16th and 17th-century chamfered cross beams with stepped ogee chamfer stops and chamfered joists in a ground floor room. The through passage has a blocked doorway with a wooden lintel that formerly led to the cross wing. A small area of timber framing is exposed internally on the first floor wall. No.39 has two pairs of crucks visible. The main range was likely an open hall that had a floor inserted in the 16th or 17th century. The cross wing probably contained private rooms on the first floor with service rooms below.
