II*

House, in remote position, approx 1.7km N of Little Walden Church (not included). Early/mid C16 with C19 additiions. Timber framing exposed and plastered, peg and pantiled roofs. L shaped plan. 2 storeys. Front S elevation: long jettied range, exposed framing with tension braces, central stack, half hipped roof, doorway in central chimney bay, single bay each side. 4 principal joists, 3 still with brackets, common joists under bressumer plate. Doorway original, step-stop chamfered jambs, doorhead C20 renewed, also boarded door. Windows C20 casements with glazing bars, 2 on each storey, 2-lights, 4x3 panes, also, central first floor shoulder-headed fixed light. Stack C17 or earlier of 2 conjoined blocks. Rear N elevation: all rendered with smaller C19 parallel block towards W end. 4 C20 casement windows all in rear block, 3 on ground floor, one on first floor, glazing bars, 4x3 panes. C19 stack in rear unit, central and rising from roof eaves. W end elevation: flush gable ends, rendered. Jetty profile to S. Windows casements with glazing bars, ground floor one 3-light 6x3 panes, also fully glazed door with side light 5x4 panes in all, first floor, one 3-light window 6x3 panes, two 2-lights 4x3 panes. E end elevation: as W end, reversed. C19 block set back. Windows casements with glazing bars, 3 of 2 lights 4x3 panes on first floor, single bowed ground floor window in principal (S) block 4 lights 8x3 panes. INTERIOR: not inspected but seen to agree with frontage. Ground floor has pair of timber lintelled back-to-back fireplaces. Common joists flat laid, step-stop chamfers to principals. The building appears to be a very early example of a 2-celled lobby entrance house with the house framed round the central stack as is common in the C17. Technical details imply an early C16 dating, an impression strengthened by the tapering of the soffit of the principal jetty joists, a local fashion seen in similar buildings of the early /mid C16 in Saffron Walden eg. Nos 2 & 4 Church Path (qv).
