Farmhouse. Late C15 and mid C16. Timber-framed and plastered
with plain tile roofs. In-line former hall house with 2-storey
cross-wing at south-east end.
EXTERIOR: one storey and attic. The front of the cross-wing is
gabled and has a 12-pane sash window on 1st floor. The ground
floor has a 3-light small-paned casement. Single-storey
lean-to on its exposed side has a 3-light small-paned casement
in its front wall. The main hall range has a C17 stack through
front roof slope, a C17 gabled dormer with leaded-light window
and 2 roof lights. The ground floor of this range has a C20
gabled porch with exposed timbers and small-paned double
doors. Two C20 oriels have gables and leaded lights.
The north-west end has a hipped roof with gablet and exposed
framing on 1st floor over rendered ground floor; attached
narrow stack, 2-light casement on 1st floor and single-light
casement on ground floor with top ventilators.
The rear of the cross-wing has hipped roof with gablet and a
12-pane sash window with moulded surround on 1st floor. The
ground floor has a 12-pane horizontal-sliding casement window
and a tiny window; to the east, the lean-to has black boarding
on its rear face and a black weatherboarded C20 porch has a
hipped plain tile roof. The rear of hall range has a C17
gabled dormer with pargeting of scallop pattern and sun motif
in rectangle (as Saffron Waldon and north-west of Essex); also
one flat-roofed dormer with small panes. Rear wall has two
2-light 12-pane horizontal-sliding casement windows and
low-pitched gabled porch with small-paned casements.
Dormer window above south-east lean-to under construction at
time of survey.
INTERIOR: substantially complete small in-line hall house
probably of late C15. The house as first built had combined
service/parlour chamber at north-west end and solar above of
interrupted-tie-beam construction. Remnants of crown-post roof
remain, with central hall crown post with octagonal shaft,
crenellated and moulded capital and 2-way rising braces. The
parlour/solar partition is substantially complete with arch
bracing and one of two arched door heads. Floor joists over
parlour half are chamfered and stopped. The unjettied
cross-wing was added in mid to late C16 and had large stair
well, and diamond-mullioned windows, some of which survive.
This formed new service wing and old high-end room became a
larger parlour.
Late C19 pump in front of front wall of cross-wing.
