Description


NAVESTOCK

TQ59NW MURTHERING LANE 723-1/4/501 (West side) 20/02/76 Brook Farm (Formerly Listed as: BRENTWOOD MURTHERING LANE, Navestock Brook House)

II

House. c1600. Timber-framed and weatherboarded with peg-tiled roof, half hipped with gablets. 2 storey and attic. 2 window range, central C20 porch. Central `concertina' chimney-stack, rebuilt and not exactly as original. Continuous rear outshut with `cat slide' roof. The plan is a `colonial prototype', rare in England, where the stack is set to the back of a central chimney bay allowing for a winding stair from ground floor to attics at the front by the door (in New England this was the norm). Windows UPVC double glazed C20 replacements but position and scale correct. INTERIOR: principal frame has jowled posts and straight tension bracing to middle rails and carpenters marks of medieval system. Joists of ground floor ceiling have chamfer stops of both lamb's tongue and diamond `broach' form. Roof, clasped side purlin type with wind braces from end wall frames. Old boarded door of contemporary type in attic. Outshut rebuilt but probably on site of original and sharing groundsill. Some rebuilding of fireplaces and part of stair.
