GV II

Turkey house, part of the home farmstead of Somerhill, now part of the Hadlow Estate. Probably circa 1850. Brick, the gables timber-framed; peg-tile roof.

Plan: Part of a designed Victorian farmstead with farmbuildings in a style to match the Vernacular Revival house. The layout of the group is picturesquely irregular and organized to look attractive as well as being functional. The turkey house is sited north east of the farmhouse, roofed on an east west axis, the rear elevation visible from the farm lane, which carries on past the farmstead to the estate laundry. A small symmetrically planned building with crosswings; central entrance, entrances to each crosswing.

Exterior: Single-storey. Symmetrical 4-window south front with left and right gabled projections and a louvred ventilator with a hipped roof and finial in the centre of the roof. The gables are framed with curved braces and have pendants at the apex. 3 original plank and cover strip doors, one in the centre, one to each gable. 4 2-light timber casements; 2 gabled dormers with pendants. The rear elevation has matching gabled dormers and framed gables to the crosswings.

Interior: Not inspected.
