Details
SU 17 SE OGBOURNE ST GEORGE HIGH STREET (west end) 7/100 Kemms 27.2.58 II Farmhouse. Late C16-early C17. Part flint and sarsen boulders, part timber framing with wattle and daub, much replaced with brick noggings. Single storey and attic. Original structure parallel to road containing central living hall, inner room and kitchen behind major chalkstone stack, the kitchen having a separate, perhaps later, fireplace with oven, now blocked. Forward wing on left end probably an addition, providing a cross passage at rear of the lateral stack of kitchen and covering the probable position of first lobby entry. The wing contains 2 bays of accommodation, unheated, possibly a dairy and cheeseloft. The kitchen bay of original structure is of stone, the rest timber framed, and the re- entrant facade of the wing also framed. Framing 3 panels high with corner and tension braces. Boarded door to cross passage. Timber casement windows, but altered stone mullioned windows with labels on gable of wing to road. Roof half hipped. Interior: Living hall, inner room and kitchen all have deep chamfered spine beams with ogee stops. Fireplace has stopped chamfered mantel beam with chalkstone jambs. Main chamber over has moulded stone arched fireplace. Many C17 and C18 doors. Wing has original door and frame from cross passage. A house where the chronological relationship between stone and timber construction is obscure.
