Oldway and No 3
GV
II
2 adjoining houses. C17 origins, later alterations. Colourwashed rendered cob and
stone rubble; thatched roof, gabled at ends of range; axial stack with brick shaft to
Oldway (left hand house), right end stack to no 3.
Plan: Oldway is single depth, 2 rooms wide with an entrance at the right on the front
leading into a room heated by the axial stack; narrow unheated room to left. Later
rear lean to incorporates kitchen and stair. No 3 probably 1 room on plan, entrance
on front at left. Oldway is evidently C17 in origin (chamfered stopped crossbeam);
no 3 may be the same date but the relationship between the 2 buildings is not
entirely clear. The thatched roof of No 3 is carried over a carriage entrance at the
right end and is continuous with Hillside (q.v.).
2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2+2 window front with adjacent front doors. Oldway (to the
left) retains its probably C18 3-light casements with square leaded panes, the
windows of No 3 have been replaced but are probably in C18 embrasures. The
carriageway to the right of No 3 has large paired timber gates.
Interior Oldway has a C17 chamfered scroll-stopped crossbeam to the heated ground
floor room. Other features may be concealed behind later plaster. Interior of No 3
not inspected. Roof timbers may be of interest.
Group value with other houses in Bullen Street and one of a particularly attractive
row (with Hillside and Orchard Cottage) on the south side.
