Description

TQ 56 43 BIDBOROUGH HIGH STREET (east side) 11/15 No 9 GV II Small house, 2 cottages in 1956 (National Monuments Record photograph). Probably late C18/early C19 with renovations of 1988. Plastered brick to the ground floor with weatherboarded framing above; peg-tile roof; brick stack. Plan: West facing, sited below the churchyard.

The front doors have been removed and the house is now entered on the left (north) end. Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 2 window front with C20 12-pane sashes to the ground floor, copying earlier C19 windows, similar sash to first floor right. The left hand first floor window is a 2-light Cl9 or C20 timber casement with glazing bars. Interior: Not inspected but said to have exposed framing. One of a row of small vernacular houses, group value with the church. 1956 photograph in National Monuments Record. Listing NGR: TQ5649043179
