Mallards

Mallards is a house dating from the late 17th century. It is built of rendered brick and has a pantile roof. The layout features a three-cell lobby-entry plan, with an additional outshut to the right and some extensions at the rear. The house is two storeys high and has four bays. A 20th-century porch covers a four-panel door with a divided overlight located in the third bay. Throughout the building, there are replacement sash windows with glazing bars set in flush frames, and there is evidence of a blocked window above the door. The exterior includes a first-floor band and a cogged eaves course, along with gable coping and shaped kneelers. A large rendered ridge stack is present. Inside, the sitting room retains original hand-cut cross beams, although the joists are not visible. There is also an early stack for the fireplace.
