4/155 Gatehouse To Plumpton House including Well-House immediately east

II

Gatehouse to Plumpton House. Late C19 or Edwardian. 1 1/2 storeys. Mock-timbered and roughcast-rendered above a high red brick plinth. Half-hipped plaintiled roof with a large gable above the central entry. Wide, high entry with hammer beam roof, mainly boxed-in with close-studded partitions so that only the supporting arched braces and the hammer beams are visible. At collar-level a ceiling with exposed joists. The central gable has projecting eaves and studding in the apex: a small flat-headed dormer in each of its roof-slopes. A cottage on each side of the entry with an internal red brick chimney-stack, which has a rectangular shaft and heavily corbelled head; a gabled dormer with 3-light casement windows, plain projecting barge-boards and studding in the apex; and, on the ground floor, a flat-headed canted bay with a 4-light casement window. All the windows have square leaded panes with tiny diamond panes linking the squares. An entrance door in the side wall. 2 small single-storey extensions, in similar materials but not identical in style, have high end chimneys set internally with square shafts, a raised pilaster strip to each face, and heavily corbelled heads. This building is one of very few examples of mock-timbering in this part of Suffolk; it is also a landmark in the flat surrounding country. Including contemporary well-house immediately east; square plan open-sided timber-frame structure with posts at the corners supporting a gableted hipped roof with louvres in the gablets. Between the corner posts wooden railings with a gate on one side. The gatehouse and wellhouse were probably built in circa 1911 when Plumpton House was altered.
