GV II
House, garden walls and gate. An early C18 remodelling of a circa mid/late C17 house, parts of which may be earlier. Close-studded framed construction, the front and return walls rebuilt in Flemish bond brick to the ground floor, the first floor tile hung; west end of the north west wing brick; peg-tile roof; brick stacks.
Plan: The house faces east across Matfield Green. Overall L-plan, the main block 3 rooms wide with a central unheated entrance hall and principal rooms to left and right, heated from end stacks. 2 phase rear right (north west) service wing at right angles, heated from an end stack. The main range has a rear outshut. The framing that survives on the rear wall suggests that a C17 house has been remodelled and upgraded. The service wing, which may originally have been unheated, appears to have been extended or rebuilt at the west end.
Exterior: 2 storeys, cellar and attic. Extremely attractive symmetrical 4- window east front with a moulded fascia at first floor level and moulded eaves cornice. Gable-ended roof with end stacks. Central C18 half-glazed front door with fielded panels and a flat porch hood on moulded brackets. Evidence of blocked windows to left and right of the door, 4 first floor and 2 ground floor C18 12-pane sash windows with margin glazing and louvred sun shutters. 2 attic dormers with cambered lead roofs and moulded cornices, glazed with 2- light small-pane casements. The right return of the main block has an C18 half-glazed 2-panel door in the gable end. The wing has one ground floor 3- light casement with square leaded panes and quadrant catches. The roof of the main block is carried down as a catslide over the rear outshut and has 3 flat- roofed dormers. Early C19 or earlier. Red brick garden wall to the east has an iron rail on the top with spear finials and a pretty wrought and cast iron garden gate with an S-shaped diagonal brace and verticals with spear finials with fleur-de-lis finials to the styles.
Interior: Exposed ceiling beams to the entrance hall are of slender scantling with scroll stops. The right hand room has a large open fireplace with scroll stops. Good set of C18 2-panel doors throughout. The stair rises from the rear of the entrance hall, within the outshut. The framed rear wall of the main block survives to sole plate level.
