Full Description

PRN 37670 [Note - where there is confusion or discrepancy between sources regarding the date of a building, the Royal Commission survey (which is the most detailed and recent) has been taken as the most reliable.] This house incorporates part of a late 12th or early 13th century structure. The early remains consist of two and a half bays of arcading, now blocked and forming part of the west wall of the house. The present house dates from the 16th or 17th century and is timber framed with stone gable walls. It is jettied to the south although the north has been underbuilt in stone, probably in the 17th century. The roof has original beams and rafters. {1} This two storey house is probably 17th century [this may be incorrect - see above] although it is now rough-rendered with fake half-timbering. It has two large 19th century shop windows and a Sun fire insurance plaque. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {2} These arches probably represent a blank arcade rather than entrances from a hall into serving quarters. They are of 15th century date [this disagrees with the Royal Commission survey - see above]. {4}
