Description
The Old House is a house dating from the 16th or 17th century, which underwent significant alterations in the early 19th century. The exterior is rendered and colourwashed, featuring a triple-Roman tile roof and pierced cusped ornamental barge boards. There are brick stacks with moulded freestone caps, some of which are grouped together, giving the building a Tudoresque style.
The house is two storeys high with four bays, and it has casement windows with glazing bars; the first-floor windows are set in half dormers. The central entrance has a half-glazed door. Inside, there are some chamfered and stopped ceiling beams, a fireplace with a broad wooden bressumer, early 19th-century plaster cornices, and remnants of the original 16th or 17th-century roof beneath the current 19th-century roof.
