TQ69NW PADHAMS GREEN 723-1/6/465 Bibury 20/02/76 (Formerly Listed as: BRENTWOOD PADHAMS GREEN, Mountnessing Eardisland)
GV II
House. Mainly mid-C16, part possibly of earlier origin, extended in C19 and C20. Timber-framed, clad with roughcast render, plaster, weatherboarding and red brick, roofed with handmade and machine-made red clay tiles. 2-bay main range facing W, the left bay forming an entrance-passage, and 2-bay cross-wing to right, extending forwards. C18 internal stack at the junction. C19 single-storey wing to rear centre with axial stack, and lean-to extensions to each side, the left forming a catslide with the roof of the main range. C20 conservatory to right of cross-wing. All windows are C20 casements. Plain boarded door in wide gabled porch. The cross-wing is jettied to the front, with 2 brackets roughcast rendered; the roof has a gablet hip to the rear. INTERIOR: the main range has a floor of c1600 comprising a chamfered axial beam and chamfered joists of vertical section with lamb's tongue stops, and a clasped purlin roof of similar date incorporating some smoke-blackened rafters from a medieval open hall. It is not clear whether this survives from a medieval house, or was re-built in the C16. Walls of ground-floor room matchboarded c1900. Hearths re-pointed with lime mortar. The cross-wing has heavy close studding with `Suffolk' braces, and jowled posts. Chamfered binding beam with step stops, and plain joists of horizontal section jointed to it with soffit tenons with diminished haunches, indicating a date of construction between 1510 and 1565, probably nearer the later date. In the right girt are 3 diamond mortices of a former unglazed window, and a groove for a sliding shutter, and above it is a similar window retaining shortened diamond mullions. Similar window at the rear on the first floor, blocked. The rear left corner post is rebated for an original door opening into the cross-wing, indicating that this was originally the parlour/solar wing of a medieval house; a broken pintle hinge is still visible in the rebate. Crownpost roof complete; chamfered collar-purlin with step stops, and 3 axial braces. Smoke-blackened rafters from the roof of a medieval open hall reused in the hip.
