affinity designer Tudor House

[NoLongerHere]

A local Tudor house from the early 1500's that I started a time back but stopped as I didn't know if I really liked it enough to finish but it turned out OK in the end. 

That's it, I'm done for now. Although I did fill in the form to be a Canva creator which is full but if they have any openings down the line I might do some simplistic stuff for that, I don't think they do fancy, and will post them here as long as you don't laugh.

Nicely done, as usual. But I only see one door, not two!

Blame the builders not me, it only has one.

The detail on the roof, bricks and stones is stunning. As for only one door, what about those two wildly different chimneys! Love them.  Guess the Tudors were too involved saving their heads from Henry to worry about aesthetics!!!

For the avoidance of doubt, Marc, I wasn’t blaming you. It’s just that not having a two-door house from that period seems like a missed opportunity.

I love those non-matching chimneys, too! 👍

At one time, even in the 1930's, it was two buildings, so sometimes it did have two doors. I'm not sure what it originally looked like but sort of guessing it was one building and that's why it was restored the way it has been. But when it was split in two it got another chimney. I don't think I've come across any really old etchings or drawings of it.

I'd imagine it was an expensive home but as I replied above I'm thinking it only had one chimney originally then was split in two and got another. Then the restoration  made it a single house again. This is a pic from the 1930's. I don't think exposed beams were much of a thing, they were plastered over. I'll have a read and see if I can find anything about it's early days.

Edit: the oldest drawing I have found was from 1831 and it was two buildings back then. However it looks like the current chimneys are later or the drawing is a bit rough. They changed the windows quite a bit during restoration. So I'm guessing it wasn't a historically accurate restoration, windows/glass was very expensive in the early days so small windows.
