Description

Late C18 or C19. 2 storey, double-pile, 3 bay house in brick with slate roof. The left hand bay appears to be a later addition – the brickwork has a clear join between the left hand and central bays. Brickwork is in red/brown and tan diaper work. Building is gable end onto the street, abutting the footpath. Chimney stack at gable end has pale terracotta pots. A number of patches of redbrown brickwork on the elevation indicate areas where original doors or larger windows have been removed and replaced with smaller casements. The door appears to be timber, and it located to the right of the central bay of the house. Windows on the roadside and main elevations appear to be a mix of timber casements and more recent uPVC replacements. All are small casement opening windows. The uPVC windows have 'stuck on' glazing bars. The loss of the traditional windows on this building is regrettable. The building is visually prominent, especially in views from The Green, and forms part of a group with the historic buildings on The Green and Nash Road. The boundary walls attached to the building are also of some architectural and historic interest, and are visually important, framing views along the street. A local note building within the Conservation Area of Great Horwood (B1).
