METFIELD SKINNER' S LANE TM 28 SE 9/100 Nos.1 & 2, Doctors Lodge - GV II

House, now divided into 2. A complex structure in 3 main parts: C15 to west, with considerable later alteration (No.1); attached to the east a late C16/early C17 parlour range (part No.1, part No.2), with a C19 addition to the north (No.2). The older ranges are timber framed and plastered with pantiled roofs except for 2 slopes which are plaintiled. 2 storeys with attics to the older ranges. Various casement windows: No.1 has mainly C19 windows, No.2 mid C20 large-paned windows. The C19 addition has a 4-panel door (the upper 2 panels glazed) and gabled timber trellis porch. Each range has an internal stack. The 2-cell west range contains part of a former open hall house, with the cambered tie beam of the open truss (the bracing removed) and a moulded and crenellated beam against the inserted stack (probably a dais beam); there is exposed studding at first floor level. The original roof has been lost. The adjacent parlour range has been somewhat altered; there are ovolo-moulded cross-beamed ceilings to each floor.
