GV II
House. C16, extended C17 and C18. Timber framed core, much extended with red brick, (partly in English bond) and some flint and rubble to rear. Plain tiled roof. Two storeys on plinth with roof hipped to left, with stacks at end right and projecting at end left. Two margin light sashes on each floor, those on ground floor with segmental heads. Central door of 6 raised and fielded panels with lozenge - traceried rectangular fanlight and segmental iron hood. Right return 2 storey, rendered, with steeply pitched hipped roof and metal casement windows, all of slightly different pattern. Central boarded door. Flint and rubble outshot and rear wing. Interior: the kitchen wing (right return) with interior frame visible, with wattle and daub/lathe and plaster interior walls. Truncated clasped purlin and wind brace roof (possibly a cross-wing to main range). Some simple mid C18 panelling and raised and fielded and moulded doors (fine front door with diagonal planks, strap hinges, etc.). Simple straight flight stair, but upper landing with short mid C18 dog leg stair with turned baluster with square knaps, moulded handrail and extended newels, effecting change of levels between different builds. The internal divisions, partitions and specialised storage and processing rooms (pantry/washhouse etc.) largely survive, with a remaining kitchen copper, the flint bakehouse outshot dateable by its oven (now dismantled) to 1781. Adjoining to the south a mid C18 donkey wheel with vertical post to drum, with iron bucket. The timbered housing with tiled roof rebuilt in 1906, with moulded timbers of good scantling.
