WETHERSFIELD ROTTEN END (west side) Gold Rill and Rotten End Farmhouse (formerly both listed as Rotten End Farmhouse) GV II

House, now divided into 2 houses. Late C16, altered in C19 and C20. Timber framed, plastered, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. 3-bay main range facing E with C18/C19 axial stack and C17 external stack at left end. 3-bay crosswing at right end, extending forwards, with C19 central stack and C19/C20 stair extension in front angle, with catslide from roof of crosswing. C20 single-storey extensions at left end. 5-window range of C20 casements, one in the attic gable and one in flat-roofed dormer. 2 C20 doors with shallow canopies. Hipped gablet at left end. 2 storeys and attics. The interior has jowled posts, close studding with interior 'Suffolk' bracing, chamfered beams with lamb's tongue stops, plain joists of horizontal section, face-halved and bladed scarfs in the wallplates, clasped purlin roof with arched wind-bracing. Framed stair trap in left bay, blocked. Fragment of 4-centred doorhead in partition between 2 left bays. C16/C17 ledged door of splay-rebated planks in left bay, not in original position. Blocked original window in rear wall of right bay of main range with 2 mullions moulded to an unusual profile, with mortices for saddle bars, and groove for sliding shutter, and other shutter grooves elsewhere, for early glazed windows. The plan is unusual, in that there is pegging for an original partition between the middle and right bays of the main range, and on the first floor there is no original partition between the 2 left bays. Solid tread stair to attic of crosswing. RCHM 41.
