II

Farmhouse, now house. Late C16 or early C17 substantially remodelled and extended in C18: minor C19 and C20 alterations. Timber frame, mostly encapsulated in later extensions; stuccoed brick, hipped and gabled plain tile roofs, brick stacks. The original house probably a lateral range with a cross-wing to front right; in C18 a lateral range added onto the front of the cross-wing and a wing added at the rear. EXTERIOR: two storeys; on the left side of the front range and the cross wing the slope of the roof is continued as a catslide to first-floor level, on the catslide a dormer with a raking roof; on the front a central, single-storey, gabled entrance porch added in early C20, to right a bay window with lean-to roof and casements, to left a three-light timber casement, on the first floor three two-light leaded casements; on the left side in the angle with the lateral range a C20 single-storey, timber-framed, conservatory porch; the left hand gable wall of the lateral range with timber frame underbuilt in brick on the ground floor. On the first floor timber-framing of close studs between bottom plate and intermediate rails in two zones; narrow zone above (under the tie beam), is possibly a later heightening and re-roofing of the range using a different pattern of close studs in the upper zone and in the gable; in the middle zone an ogee tension brace to each corner post; in the gable a collar tie; on the ground floor a central two-light casement and a single-light casement to right; on the first floor a three-light casement, all with C20 leadlight glazing. INTERIOR: not inspected, but likely to be of interest.
