Description
Wooden Walls is a house dated 1681, marked by the initials T.N. and E.N. It features an 18th-century extension that shares the same roof. The exterior has rendered walls with stone surrounds and wooden dormers, topped by a slate roof that includes a stone-slate bottom course and brick ridge chimney stacks, with the extension being made of brick and whitewashed. The entrance has a hood mould and a black-painted surround, with a raised inscription highlighted in black on a white background. The ground floor has chamfered mullioned windows with 2-3 lights and hood moulds without returns, along with a small casement window with glazing bars above the door. There are two 19th-century dormers with flat leaded roofs. The door is chevron planked, and there are single-paned windows. The extension includes large 20th-century garage doors and a similar window to the house, which is covered by a hinged plank shutter. The Post Office Directory of Carlisle from 1880-81 lists this building as Wooden Walls Inn.
