Cilthriew

Cilthriew is a 17th-century timber-framed building with a close-studded ground floor and square paneling three panels high on the upper floor. The northern gable juts out on cut timber brackets and features a deep projecting verge. On the west-southwest elevation, there is a timber-framed storied porch, which may have been added later, positioned opposite the main stack. The porch is also close-studded at the first floor level and has shaped brackets beside an upper chamber window. The roof has double purlins and 19th-century decorative openwork bargeboards.

Beyond the porch, there is a cross wing faced in brick with 19th-century window openings that have brick labels and 20th-century windows on two floors. This wing is mirrored by a short gabled extension to the east-northeast. The southern end is made of painted stone and features an entrance door in a round-headed arch, paired round-headed lancets under a brick depressed arch in a raised dormer, and a three-light window with panes on the ground floor. There is a brick star-shaped stack with three shafts and a large stack at the southern gable end of the southern range.

A stone lean-to roof over a cellar, built against the northern bay of the timber house, was later raised to create an outshut under the main roof's continuation. Inside, the timber-framed range has two parallel chamfered spine beams with cut stops. There is a large stack in the hall with one jamb and an oven, which was likely rebuilt when an earlier stair was replaced by a dog-leg stair in the porch. The 17th-century roof was raised, probably in the late 19th century, during which the floor over the hall was also elevated, leaving one original truss in place. The kitchen at the northern end features a very large stone fireplace and chamfered cross beams.
