Johnson'S Acre

Johnson's Acre is a detached house that dates back to the 14th century and has been modified in every century since. It is constructed from local stone, which is partly cut and squared, along with some rubble, colourwashed brick, and cob. The house features a thatched roof that is half-hipped at the west end and fully hipped at the east end, with stone slab chimney stacks topped with brick.

The building is a single storey with an attic and consists of three bays, with extensions at each end. It has horizontal-bar casement windows, with three lights in the lower bay and two lights in the upper bays, while the upper bays one and three have two lights. The windows have timber lintels below and an exposed wall plate, with the upper windows set into swept dormers that have rendered side panels. In lower bay two, there is a boarded door in a later frame beneath a timber boarded hood. To the right of bay three, there are a pair of timber garage doors. Attached to the west gable is an outbuilding, likely originally agricultural, which features a two-light small-pane window and a stable-pattern boarded door. The south wall is made of stone rubble, while the west gable is constructed from brick.

The interior has not been seen, but it is reported to contain three internal cruck frames, with a post-and-truss east wall and cob below. There are three rows of purlins, with the lowest almost acting as a wall plate. Signs indicate an upper chamber over the east service rooms that jetties over the hall. The framed partitions are made of wattle-and-daub. There is an inserted fireplace from the 16th century, complete with a smoke hood, as well as a plank and muntin partition and doorway from the same period. The layout resembles that of a long house, with the west end likely serving as the apple and cider room.
