II

House. Probably late C14 - early C15, altered C17, C19 and C20. Timber-frame core encased in, and with additions of flint with red-brick dressings and red brick; some tile-hanging. Plain tile roofs. Plan: 2-bay open-hall with 2- storey solar at north-east (upper) end, and formerly a service wing or bay at south-west (lower) end; floor inserted and stair tower added on south-east side probably early C17, probably later C17 additions at north-east end; in early C19, 2-storey 3-bay range added access south-west end (replacing former service area); various bay-window and single-storey additions and other alterations later C19 and C20. The most completely original elevation is that at the south- west end, ie the early C19 range. This is of flint with brick quoins, bands and quoined openings. Symmetrical, with central doorway having C20 part-glazed door with panelled jambs protected by large hood on columns with swagged wreath in tympanum. Either side of door are later tripartite windows with 4-pane sashes flanking 12-pane sashes. On 1st floor, sashes with glazing bars flank 16-pane sash. Hipped roof projecting from either return, a full height early C20 bowed window under oversailing roof. Garden (south-east) elevation has the added stair tower, although now early C20 in appearance, with large 4-light mullion and transom stair window below tile-hung gable with paired lights to apex and carved barge boards. Old stack at right end of central, main, range. Beyond it, the tile-hung addition which is possibly C17 in origins, has a cross-wing at the right end, and is of flint with brick dressings on other elevations. North west elevation mostly C20 in appearance, the former open hall having a large early C20 canted bay window, 3 early C20 casements to 1st floor, parapet, and to the roof, on left and forward of ridge, a stack (rising above inserted fireplace). Former solar, on left, is now of brick. Interior: former hall has heavily moulded cross-beams at either end, that at lower end having chamfers in its lower arris from the heads of panels from former plank and muntin panelled partition wall; on right of window, moulded base of a corbel supporting a large- scantling arched brace; early C17 alterations include insertion of floor which has large scantling cross beam with run-out chamfer and joists with similar, stepped stops to chamfers, also probably the insertion of the spine partition wall, since a contemporary plaster frieze ofacorns continues along this partition, and the small fireplace against solar partition with deep timber lintel with stepped stops to chamfer supported by stone jambs with moulded arrises. Former solar has cross-beam supporting the short joists which are of large scantling, closely spaced, and have broad chamfers with stepped and run-out stops (some of the joists being replacements). Plaster rose and thistle friezes elsewhere in the house are C19/C20; early C19 range has a contemporary bolection moulded fireplace. The stair window has reused stained glass dated 1679 and 1681 On 1st floor, more of the original timber frame is visible with very large-scantling timbers including jewelled wall posts and tie beams with run-out stops; curved braces; hall solar partition wall; an, most importantly a short, central, crown post with heavily-moulded base, broadly chamfered arrises with plain stops, and arched braces to collar purlin and collar; collared rafters. More of the crown post roof structure is visible in the roof space, having plain crown-posts at each end of hall with arch braces down to tie-beams; sooting on the rafters, which are morticed and tenoned at apex; hall-stair partition wall of wattle and daub, rising full-height; evidence for similar former hall services partition wall at lower end, and collar purlins extending approx 500 mm into former service range.
