infill. Flint footings, brick plinth with moulded top, and ground floor (English
bond). Braced wall plate 2 bays (of 4+6 panels). Steep old tile roof with
off ridge chimneys. Modern casement windows 3 on 1st floor, 2 on ground floor.
Central round headed doorway with fragmentary arched window to right. This
apparently late Norman doorway has been reset in this position, probably in
mid C19. It is tempting to suppose that they came from a building on or near
the site. Both window and door have bead mould, door has angle shafts and
imposts. East gable end has 2 more Norman windows (all these Norman features
probably reset). 2 gabled dormers to north. Interior: wide contemporary kitchen
fireplace, stud partitions (especially small 1st floor lobby). Queen post
roof.
2. Early C19. 2 storeys, red brick with flat eaves, tiled roof. 3 bays,
segmental headed casements. Door to right.
3. Oldest part. Probably late C16. 1 1/2 storeys. 3 1/2 bays timber framed each
with 6 panels (2x3). Flint plinth with tile bands (a significant structural
detail). 2 casements on ground floor and door. 2 gabled dormers in old tile
roof. Left hand bay has 1st floor granary. Now fade into a dormer to match
other 2. Interior: upper crucks tenoned onto tie or floor beams, 2 rows of
butt purlins lower ones with wind braces (also wind braces to ridge). Queen
posts. Store rooms below.
4. Stable known as 'The Chapel'. The tallest building probably mid-late
C17. 2 storeys. English bond brick. Plinth,toothed eaves cornice. Old tile
roof. Stone weathered coping to left. Central tudor arch chamfered doorway.
