BRAISHFIELD BRAISHFIELD ROAD (West Side, off) Fairbourne's Farm House

GV II

Detached farmhouse. Possibly mediaeval origins, but earliest surviving parts c1680 and early C18. Red brick, partly in Flemish Bond, partly in header bond; hipped plain clay tiled roofs using bonnets to hips; brick chimney stacks, the westernmost rendered. Double roof plan, set at right angles to road and some distance from it; main facade faces south. Two storeys with attic, 4 bays. West end the earlier, featuring small brick band course and obvious join with the C18 remainder; windows of cast iron lattice pattern with margins, C19 inserts, 2- and 3-lights, with no window upper bay 2; both bay 1 windows and the remainder at first floor level have flat half-brick shoulder arches, the remaining ground floor windows have slightly segmental arches which were intended to serve earlier, narrower windows: to bay 3 a 6-flush-panel entrance door set in late C19 brick and glazed porch with tiled roof, with timber pilasters remaining of an earlier door surround: between bays 1/2 and 3/4 are small lead-flat roofed dormer windows with slated cheeks, the single lights diamond-paned. West elevation ivy covered; outbuildings this end, some with slated roofs and some with hipped tiled leanto roofs. On east gable a small earlier C20 single-storey bay window under hipped roof. North elevation has a slated leanto with pitched-roof porch, and two 2-light small-pane steel casements to first floor. Interior mostly of late C19 and early C20 character: curved beam over fireplace (blocked) at east end; attic has one early partition, and roof frame has collar trusses with clasped purlins. The site formed one of the boundaries to Michelmersh Manor as early as 985 AD, when it was known as "feora burnan" - hence Fairbournes - and fragments of a mediaeval building in the barn (q.v) suggest an earlier building of some significance on the site.
