Description

Tithe Barn House is a mainly single-storey building with a 12-bay front made of largely Flemish bond brick, which is broader at the four northernmost bays. It has a slate roof with a pronounced undulation and an exposed wall plate, featuring gable parapets with quarter round kneelers and a brick chimney stack on the rear verge towards the south end. The northern end is two-storey and slightly advanced, with a former coach entrance that now has a recessed modern door. There is a modern brick garage extension at the south end. The windows are modern with small panes and cambered brick voussoirs, and the doors are boarded. The gable end facing the street is one storey with an attic and has a band course around the ground floor at the northern end of the rear, with modern dormers beyond.

Inside, the building is relatively unaltered from its conversion. It features a full-height open entrance hall with an A-frame roof construction, two-tier purlins, and a square panelled timber-framed dividing end wall to the right, along with a modern minstrels gallery. A timber plaque dated TD: 1567, possibly standing for Thomas Davies, who was Bishop from 1561 to 1573, is located over the opening into a passage that runs along the front. The drawing room retains unusual curved struts and a modern fireplace made of stone said to be from Flint Castle.
