7/85 Maydensole Farmhouse 11.10.63
GV II*
House. C16, altered early C18 and extended c.1786. Flint and red brick on left return, refaced and extended with red brick. Plain tiled roof. Two storeys on plinth with discontinuous plat band and parapet, stepped up to right to return-hipped cross-wing, with stacks to right, and projecting and twice offset at end left. Three glazing bar sashes on first floor and 3 on ground floor with gauged heads. Central half-glazed door in panelled, round-headed surround within Doric porch. Original blocked doorway to right, the present door added c.1786, and interrupting the plat band. Interior: large open kitchen wing to rear with outside stair, with remains of bread oven and copper, and partly framed partition wall to older front block. All doorways throughout house with reeded door surrounds with moulded circles, roses and other motifs in the corners, each doorway of a difference pattern. Greek key motifs on door panels. Main room with elliptically arched tripartite arcade on fluted pilasters at one end, reeded and moulded fire surrounds with moulded fitted cupboards (disguising earlier inglenooks). Moulded skirting, dado rail and cornice in downstairs rooms. Wreathed rail to geometric stair with scrolled open string and unturned balusters. Two cellars, one with slate-tabled dairy. William Garside of Sutton Court bought the property c.1786, and a brick on an attached wall outside is inscribed W.G.86. Notable survival of late C18 neo-classical detailing in a relatively small farmhouse.
