TL60SW SPRIGG'S LANE 723-1/2/44 (West side) New Farmhouse
GV II
House. Late C16 and C17. Timber-framed, plastered, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. Late C16 main range of 4 bays facing approximately SE, with external stack at right end. C17 2-bay range to rear left, with axial stack at the junction, and external stack at end, now enclosed by single-storey lean-to extension. 2 storeys. All windows are C20 casements. C20 door. INTERIOR: the main range has jowled posts, other wall framing plastered, and chamfered binding beams. The binding beam between the 2 left bays has a step stop on one side, a similar stop with the corners cut back on the other side, an unusual combination suggesting a date of c1560. The binding beam between the 2 right bays has been reinforced with a grown knee, not original. Joists plastered to the soffits. Clasped purlin roof with arched wind bracing. The rear range has unjowled posts, chamfered beams with runout stops, plain joists of square and vertical sections, and a clasped purlin roof without wind bracing. This rear wing appears to be on the site of a former medieval hall range, and incorporates much reused timber from the earlier building, including a cambered tie-beam, a wallplate rebated for the shutters of an unglazed window (but now crossing a post), and smoke-blackened rafters with oblique trenches for former collars. The axial beam of the rear bay is bolted to the soffit of the binding beam, indicating an early alteration. C20 grates.
