II
House, formerly divided into 2. Part C15, part C17, with a single-storey C19 rear extension. Timber-framed and roughcast rendered; plaintiled roof. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attics. A gabled and jettied cross-wing on the north side has a C20 small-paned 2-light casement window to the upper storey and a small 6-pane fixed window in the apex of the gable below an exposed cambered collar-beam. On the ground storey, a canted 3-light bay below the jetty with small-paned sash windows and an entrance door with 4 sunk panels in a plain wood surround. The jetty is supported by 4 small solid brackets. The adjoining range to the south is higher than the cross- wing. A single 2-light small-paned C20 casement window to each storey, and similar windows in the gable end to the 1st storey and attic. 2 internal chimney-stacks. INTERIOR: with exposed timbers. The cross-wing is in 4 bays, associated initially with an open hall. An internal stack between the 2nd and 3rd bays has 2 back-to-back hearths on the ground storey, each with a timber lintel. Rough unchamfered joists to the ground storey ceilings, the joists more closely spaced in the front jettied bay than in the remainder. On the upper storey the wallplates have been raised slightly. The roof, which has clasped purlins, appears to be a later replacement. The south side is C17, with typical straight primary braces and bisected studs. Ground storey ceiling with joists set on edge. The internal spine wall has panels of comb pargeting on the upper storey; this part of the house seems to have been raised and widened.
