plain tile roof; 2 rebuilt large stacks each of concertina
form with 4 shafts. Gable facing; front to left.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attic and cellar; 7-window range. 4
gabled dormers on SW side, each with steep pediment-like
fronts with moulded verges and a 2-light casement window with
single horizontal glazing bar. 1st floor has 7 sash windows,
each with a central vertical glazing bar. Ground floor has an
off-centre canted bay window with sash windows and a hipped
plain tile roof. Also doors, one with hood on consoles and a
6-pane window. The SE corner canted at ground-floor level with
triangular sloping soffit above. Public house front of mid C19
with fascia, 4 pilasters and two 2-light windows with leaded
light glazing wrapping round to SE front. This has a small
2-light casement window in gable and similar sash window on
1st floor.
The SW elevation has a tall single-storey extension in white
weatherboarding with simple door, 2-light window and gabled
plain tile roof. Rear elevation has patch of old decorative
plaster and smaller structure at right-angles with one wall of
black weatherboarding, one rendered, and gabled plain tile
roof.
Behind main range is a monopitched single-storey red-brick
building (now bar) and a stable block, part red-brick and part
timber-framed with black boarding with low-pitched gabled
pantile roof. A small area of roof has been replaced in
concrete pantiles.
The main block was probably constructed with a ground floor of
brick and timber-framing over.
INTERIOR: the timber structure is of good quality with 5
bridging joists, all chamfered above ground floor and a
similar arrangement with lambs-tongue stops on 1st floor. All
joists are of small square section. The contemporary stacks
have been much rebuilt but remnants survive of the original
fireplaces including one in the cellar. 2 tight winder stairs
and continuous attic storey is original feature.
HISTORY: the building was early known as Wrenches and thought
to have been rebuilt c1570; the structure could be of this
date.
