Oak View With Garden Wall

Oak View with garden wall to front is a house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, with an early 19th-century refronting and 20th-century restoration. The house features a timber frame encased in light red brick laid in English bond, topped with a 20th-century red tile roof. The front wall is made of coursed gritstone. It stands two storeys tall, has four bays, and follows a three-cell lobby-entry plan.

A four-panel door is located under a segmental header arch in bay three. The house has 20th-century small-pane side-sliding sash windows throughout, all with projecting stone sills, including two to the left of the door and one to the right. The window above the entrance is likely a 20th-century addition. The ground-floor windows feature segmental header arches, while the first-floor windows are set below a timber wall plate visible at the eaves. The roof is long and steeply pitched, with stone gable coping and a brick stack to the left, along with a 20th-century brick ridge stack in bay three.

The left return of the house is constructed of coursed gritstone and sandstone rubble, while the right return matches the brick of the front. A timber tie beam is present at eaves level. Although the interior was not inspected during the resurvey, it was recorded in 1979 and includes substantial remains of a timber-framed building, such as rear aisle posts, partition walls, and a soot-blackened common-rafter roof structure. The large fireplace originally featured a smoke hood, which was replaced by a brick stack in the 17th century.

The front garden wall is approximately 2 metres high where it meets the house, tapering down to four courses across the front, finished with rounded coping. Historically, this house was one of three farms around the village green in the 16th century.
