Cilthriew

The timber-framed range has two parallel chamfered spine beams with cut stops. Large stack to hall, one jamb, with an oven, rebuilt probably when an earlier stair was replaced by a dog-leg stair in the porch. The C17 roof was raised, probably in the later C19 at which time the floor over the hall was also raised, leaving one original truss in position. Very large stone fireplace in kitchen at N end, and chamfered cross beams.

The framing is close studded to ground floor, square panelled 3 panels high to the upper floor, with the N end gable jettied on cut timber brackets. A deep projecting verge occurs at the gable. On the WSW elevation, the timber framed storied porch, possibly an addition to the timber framed phase, is set opposite the main stack, also close studded on first floor level, with shaped brackets either side of an upper chamber window. Double purlin roof and C19 decorative openwork bargeboards. The cross wing, beyond the porch, faced in brick, has C19 window openings with brick labels, and C20 windows to 2 floors. This wing is reflected by a short gabled extension to the ENE. The S end, of painted stone, contains the entrance door in a round-headed arch, has paired round-headed lancets under a brick depressed arch in a raised dormer, over a paned 3-light window on the ground floor. Brick star-shaped stack of 3 shafts, and large stack at the S gable end of the S range. A stone lean-to roof over a cellar built against the N bay of the timber house, was subsequently raised to form an outshut under a continuation of the main roof.
