Gentle Jane

Gentle Jane is an 18th-century two-storey building with a symmetrical front. It features painted render and a slate roof that is cranked to the right, with a brick end stack on the left. The first floor has three 12-pane sash windows; the outer sashes are hornless and likely from the 18th century, while the center sash is horned and a replacement. The ground floor includes a central entrance doorway flanked by plain wooden pilasters, a rectangular fanlight, and a six-panel door. On each side of the entrance are 18th-century bow windows with 20 panes, and beyond these are similar but narrower 18th-century doorways. The doorway on the right has a blocked overlight and a boarded half-door with upper ventilation slits. There is also a window from a former shop, which is a square six-over-six pane casement with vertical iron bars and a timber lintel with iron hooks. A continuous fascia board runs across the front at impost level.

The interior has been significantly altered in the 19th century. Ground floor room partitions have been removed to create a large single room, with a small room at the northern end that was part of the former shop. The ground floor features reused chamfered ceiling beams, with one beam having a broach and another with a hollow and fillet stop. The former bakehouse in the rear outshut has an 18th-century six-panel door. The attic contains an 18th-century plank door with L-hinges. The roof consists of four bays, and the trusses have raised collars with cambered soffits; some of the principal rafters are reused.
