Details
FRESSINGFIELD TM 27 NE 6/5 - Manor Farmhouse ( formerly listed 29.7.55 as Wakelyns) -- II
Farmhouse. Late C16 with a small probably C18 addition on the right gable end. Timber framed; mid C20 plasterwork, with a band of pargetting across the front. Roof of modern plaintiles. 2 storeys and attic. 3-cell form. Scattered fenestration. To the ground floor there are 2 good 3-light ovolo- moulded mullion and transom windows with moulded sills and pedimented heads enriched with dentils; these are probably early C17 additions. A number of original windows have been exposed, and others inside remain blocked: the mullions are ovolo-moulded on the ground floor and chamfered on the upper floor. Some mid C20 casements. Lobby entrance with C19 6-panel door, the upper 2 panels glazed. Internal stack. Inside there is a particularly fine fully-exposed frame with much close studding. The storey posts in the hall have elaborately-shaped heads; those in the-parlour have crudely-carved faces as corbels: both support ovolo-moulded bridging beams with chamfered joists. In the rear wall opposite the stack a blocked doorway with 4-centre arched head. In the service chamber some early, perhaps original, window shutter slides and 2 sliding oak shutters.
