Oakwood

Oakwood is a house dating from the early 18th century, with some modernisation in the 20th century. It features a cruck frame that is encased in squared limestone, topped with a pantile roof and brick stacks, which have been partly rebuilt. The building is likely a former longhouse and is single storey with an attic, presenting a five-window front.

The central entrance has a 20th-century board door beneath a timber gabled porch, with a later inserted four-pane window to the right. To the left end, there is a 20th-century part-glazed door and a small-pane window beneath a continuous lintel. The window between the doors is a three-light, small-pane horizontal-sliding sash with a timber lintel. The remaining ground-floor windows are 20th-century small-pane casements with renewed lintels.

The house has 20th-century half-dormers with plain bargeboards, featuring a six-pane sash window to the left end and three-light casements in the other openings. There are stacks at the ends and left of the centre. At the rear, the original hearth passage door is now blocked, and there are two-light, small-pane horizontal-sliding sashes to the right.

Although the interior was not inspected, it is reported to contain two pairs of crucks and half a third. One pair of collared upper crucks with a saddle apex is located between the first and second bays, to the left of the hearth passage. A single cruck is visible in the front wall between the third and fourth bays, to the right of the hearth passage. A second full pair of cross-apex crucks with a collar divides the fourth and fifth bays.
