The principal range of the house is aligned east-west and the elevations are brick faced beneath a tiled roof with corbelled brick stacks. There are modern additions to the north and to each end of the main range. The original build consisted of five bays: pairs of unpartitioned bays flanking a central access bay. Where wall framing remains visible within the house it is in regular square panels. The chimney stacks appear to have been external to the original build. At first floor there is evidence for earlier ceilings (now removed) to provide attic space. Thorough restoration in the 1930s after a period of dereliction makes it difficult to recover some of the historical nuances. The building appears to conform to a plan suggesting a central access bay flanked by ‘service’ and ‘parlour’ ends. The position of the well, if it is original, on the southern side of the eastern end, may indicate that the eastern end was the original ‘working’ end. The plan, construction of the roof, unjowled bay posts and lack of decoration would suggest a relatively humble single dwelling of c1650-1675 that would later have fallen into multiple occupation. These notes have been compiled from survey reports prepared by Dr Annabelle Hughes. |
