4/7 Paradise Farmhouse - (formerly listed as Street 7/5/54 Farmhouse) - II*
House, formerly farmhouse, c.1500. A 3-cell Wealden-type house of unusually high quality. 2 storeys. Timber-framed and plastered; the wide cells at either end have upper floors jettied at the front and supported on brackets, and the oversailing eaves plate above the hall has large windows supported by brackets, and the oversailing eaves plate above the hall has large brackets with carved spandrels. Plaintiled roof with central and end chimneys of red brick. Mainly C20 oak-mullioned windows, some inserted into original openings. Early C19 6-panelled entrance door, partly glazed. The cross-passage entrance is formed within the service end, with original short plank-and-muntin speres with carved brackets supporting the top rail ; a little later the speres were converted to a screen, with 2 arched doorways having carved spandrels. The 1st floor structure to the hall is richly carved with cresting, crenellation and trailing leaves, and the common joists have double-ogee moulding. Over the hall is a 2-bay roof with octagonal crownpost. The high quality of the original workmanship of the house suggests that it may have been built for some special function.
