ALDBURY STOCKS ROAD SP 9612 (West side) 12/23 No. 53 30.11.66 (Applegarth) (Formerly listed as Applegarth) GV II
House. Early/mid C17, (but possibly the house described in an inventory of 1598), W service wing late C17/early C18, lower N extension and brick casing to S gable wall in C19. Timber frame on painted brick sill with painted brick infill. Painted brick N extension. Red tilehung red brick S end with corbel at jetty. Steep old red tile roof. A 2-storeys and cellar house facing E with continuous E side jetty, rear outshut under catslide roof, and 1½ storeys N extension. A 2-cells plan with end chimneys, central entrance and through passage (subsequently widened to N to accommodate a staircase). Cellar under S room with access from rear outshut where original stair was probably situated. Jettied E front has wide-spaced studs on first floor and RH half of ground floor. LH half of brick with cellar window below. 2 windows to each floor; Yorkshire sliding casements of 2-lights on first floor, and of 3-lights on ground floor with external panelled wooden shutters. N extension has a gabled dormer window over a 3-light window with 2 small 3-light windows under the eaves to RH part. 8-panel door (top 2 glazed). Projecting ends of crossbeams in jetty mark original bay divisions and these are confirmed by the axial chamfered and stopped floor beams, the N beam extending into the widened passage. The S beam is stopped to suit the larger S gable chimney which must be contemporary. The chamfers on the joists in some cases extend to the exterior. Clasped-purlin roof. An important house when built. The N extension was a butcher's shop in living memory. (RCHM Typescript: Davis(1980) No. 8).
