Description
The Lawn is a house dating from the 17th century, with some alterations from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of coursed and squared rubble, with the front being colourwashed. The roof is covered with double Roman tiles and features coped verges and four brick ridge stacks. The building has a cross-passage plan and stands two storeys high with an attic, comprising one bay on the left and four bays on the right. It has four-pane sash windows with exposed sash boxes, except for a four-light casement window to the left on the ground floor. There is a continuous weathered string course above the ground floor sash windows. The door opening is located in the third bay from the left, featuring a six-panelled door with the top two panels glazed, and is sheltered by a "trellis" porch with a hipped zinc roof. At the rear, there is a catslide roof. Inside, the floors are flagged, and there is a notable 18th-century panelled archway at the rear of the cross-passage, along with 18th-century window shutters and some exposed chamfered and stopped ceiling beams.
