3/40 Bourne Orchard 24.11.66 (formerly listed as Bourne Orchard and outbuildings) GV II
House. C16 or early C17, extended and given symmetrical appearance in C19, SE wing and windows in roof c.1908. Timber frame on red brick sill, roughcast painted, steep old red tile roofs. A large 2-storeys, jettied, 4 windows long house, along a track from road, facing W with gables at each end of front, central gabled glazed porch, in line with internal chimney with diagonal shafts forming cruciform shape above square base. 4 2-storeys canted bay windows with horizontal divided casements and tiled roofs. Triple sash window in each gable and 2 hipped 2-sashed dormers at eaves give light to upper parts of 1st floor rooms which rise into roof. Sidelights to bay window on LH of porch lighting ground floor room mark the original hall. This formed the middle room of the original 2-storeys, 3-cells, internal-chimney, lobby-entry plan house with continuous front jetty and probably a gabled N unheated service bay. This house had 4 structural bays, the widest for the hall, the narrowest for the chimney and entrance lobby, where the staircase may have been sited. The floor is carried on axial beams. Differences in construction and variations in the height of the red brick front sill show where the later changes involved (1) extending the N bay by about l½M to N and building tall external side-wall chimneys there with 3 diagonal tall shafts, (2) adding a matching gabled 2-storeys bay as new parlour at S end making the front symmetrical. New dining room with higher ground floor level added to rear of this S wing c.1908 together with other rear extensions and windows in roof giving more light to 1st floor. (inf the owner and Mrs. Athene Sanders).
