Description

Number 10 on Whitttox Lane is a building constructed before 1776 for John Truckwell. It stands at 2½ storeys high and is made of coursed rubble with a pantile roof, featuring two end chimneys that are brick on stone bases. The building has two raking top dormers and four windows that are glazing bar sashes, each with wooden lintels and boxes. The ground floor has paired windows on the left-hand side. The doorway is off-centre to the left and features a six-panel door, with the upper two panels being glazed, surrounded by a moulded edge. There are cut brackets supporting a flat hood above the door. A date stone on the building appears to read 1837. The interior is said to have panelling, and there is a gabled extension at the rear that has a blocked two-light mullion window. The staircase inside is modern.
