2/148 Nutt's Farmhouse with former barn - (now a dwelling) to rear

- II

Detached house, formerly a farmhouse, with a former barn (now a dwelling) to rear. Early C16 with later alterations and extensions; the barn probably C17 or early C18. Roughcast cob on stone footings; gabled-end thatched roof; the barn with much brick patching and gabled-end corrugated iron roof. The house was originally a 3- room through-passage plan, the higher end to the right of the passage; each room was of one unit, the hall open to the roof; it was extended to both the higher and lower ends in the C17, at which time the hall was probably floored and the main stack inserted. 2 storeys. Front: the service-end extension has no windows at all and may originally have been a barn or shippon; otherwise a 3-window range; 1st floor with 2- and 3-light casement windows, the casements possibly C18 with large L-hinges; similar casements to ground floor service end room and hall; C20, 2-light window to inner room. Bake oven bulge with small window to right. Rear: 2 half dormers; curved stair turret to rear of hall stack; 3 rear doors, one opposing front entrance to passage, with leanto porch. 2 small casement windows. Interior: plank and muntin screen to left of passage, with carpenter's mitres, chamfered and stopped to passage side; fragments of higher-end passage screen between axial stack and rear wall. Hall with 2 deeply chamfered, unstopped cross ceiling beams. Hall fireplace with massive chamfered lintel. Between hall and inner room is a much reinforced bressumer with mortices to receive screen (now missing). Roof: 2 jointed crucks (from medieval building phase), one above lower passage screen, the other over hall, possibly marking the original division between hall and inner room before extension in C17. The hall cruck is lightly sooted to higher end only, suggesting inner room always floored. Some blackened rafters, battening and thatch above hall. Service end extension with 3 C17 jointed crucks, each with carpenter's assembly marks. The barn, originally a threshing barn, although now much altered, retains its original roof construction with 4 roughly hewn jointed crucks, pegged, the collars halved. Nutt's Farm still retains much of its medieval tenement boundaries to the rear.
