BUXHALL MILL ROAD TM 05 NW

2/34 Lawn Cottage (formerly listed as premises situated between Old Lawn Cottage and the 9.12.55 road)

GV II

House, late C15. A 3-cell open-hall house. 1 storey and attics. Timber- framed and roughcast. Half-hipped roof, formerly thatched, now asbestos- slated; one C20 raking dormer. C17 axial chimney of red brick. Early or mid C20 casements. Boarded C20 door at lobby-entrance (formerly cross-entry position). A good and typical example of a C15 house. A 2-bay open hall with steeply-cambered arch-braced tie beam and octagonal crownpost (upper part concealed). The half hipped ends are supported by queenposts and square-set arch braced purlins which may be a slightly later insertion. Good arch windbraced studding in the hall. Heavy unchamfered joists in the end cells (the service rooms were united later). A good C16 lintelled open fireplace was inserted in the cross-entry. In the lower bay of the hall are roll- moulded first floor joists, perhaps inserted 50 years before the ovolo-moulded joists of c.1600 in the upper bay.
