SOUTH ELMHAM ST. CROSS FOX HILL TM 28 SE
3/52 1 & 2 School Cottage -
- II
House, now divided into 2 cottages. Mid to late C16. 2 storeys and attics: basic 2-cell lobby-entrance plan. Timber-framed and rendered with thatched roof. The internal chimney-stack has a plain rebuilt red brick shaft. 2 old 3-light small-paned casement windows to each storey, one on the upper floor with diamond leading to the 2 outer lights. A small single-light window on the upper floor above the former porch. The original lobby-entrance doorway has been blocked; one entry is now into a small lean-to porch on the left, rendered, with clay pantiles and plank door, and the entrance to the right hand cottage is in the side wall. To the left of the stack, the 2-bay ground floor room has a low exposed timber ceiling with wide plain joists set flat and a large main beam with chamfer and stepped curved stops. The timber lintel of the open fireplace has ovolo moulding on the soffit. A timber partition, with primary braces and bisected studs, divides off part of the area to form a kitchen, and was probably inserted in the early C19 when the house was divided into cottages. Similar timbering to the ground floor of the right hand cottage.
