The Old House

The Old House is a group of three attached houses that were formerly one building, dating from the 16th century with additions and alterations from the 17th century. The structure is made of coursed rubble and features double-Roman tile roofs, except for number 65, which has stone slates. There are brick stacks, with the one on number 65 being particularly tall and rising from the eaves, and another ashlar stack that rises from the apex of the coped verge. The facade is irregularly "L"-shaped, with a further wing at right angles to the rear.

The houses are two storeys high with a layout of three bays for number 63 and one bay for number 61. Number 63 has three 4 and 5-light ogee-moulded stone mullioned windows, with one light on the left side of the ground floor blocked. The ground floor openings have stopped labels. The central door opening has a chamfered 4-centred surround and a plank door, with a similar opening at the rear. Number 65 is set at right angles to number 63 and features a gabled stair turret to the left that overlaps the eaves of number 63. It has similarly moulded 2-light stone mullioned windows with labels, a door opening in the end elevation with a 19th-century half-glazed door, and an open pent-roofed porch supported by wooden columns, with a 19th-century casement window to the left.

Number 61 is positioned at right angles to the rear of number 63 and has one bay with flush-mounted 19th-century casements. The door opening to the right has a chamfered stone surround and a 19th-century plank door. The interior of number 63 features moulded ceiling beams in the ground floor rooms, with the left room containing a fireplace in a four-centred stone surround with a moulded shelf. There are two additional fireplaces of a similar type on the first floor, one of which is dated 1663.
