TQ59SE WARLEY ROAD, Great Warley 723-1/8/157 (North side (off)) Stony Hills Farm

II

Farmhouse. Mid-C17 and C20. Timber-framed and weatherboarded, peg-tiled roof. T-plan. Central range E-W, C17; C20 cross-wing, N-S at W end, brick, pebble dash rendered. At E end C20 pebble dash rendered brick single storey unit (neither C20 addition included in this listing). 2 storey and attic. C17 range: N front elevation, 3 bays with central stack and door. All 5 windows C20 2-light casement with glazing bars, 4x3 panes, door boarded with single light and simple projecting gabled pediment with shaped barge boards, weatherboarding all C20 renewal. Visible stack of C18/C19 brickwork. Rear S elevation, weatherboarded, 2 window range, all 4 windows similar to those on front elevation. Central dormer window with 2-light casement window similar to those in N and S elevations. To W, simple skylight in roof pitch. E end elevation, mainly obscured by C20 addition but 2-light casement window similar to rest of house in attic gable. INTERIOR: has framing of a C17 house of 2 cells plus central chimney. Axial joists on ground and first floor with lamb's tongue stopped chamfers. Common joists are deep sectioned with diminished haunched tenons, pendant soffits. Both wallplates jointed in chimney bay with face halved and bladed scarfs. As central stack does not occupy full axial span of chimney bay and subsidiary framing is present, the existence of a former timber chimney is possible. Fireplaces re-built or blocked but one on ground floor to W room has correct general form (small 4-centred arched head and curved fireback) to indicate the parlour end, backing fireplace on E side is large and correct shape for general use (still the kitchen/living room). Cupboard doors each side have simple butterfly hinges. In attic, roof of joggled butt side purlin form, collars set high to allow occupation, wind-braces evident at NE end. Stair at rear of stack to attic, rebuilt in lower part. Within the attic, 4 C17 diagonally set chimney shafts set on base with corbel cornice - not seen from outside, plain shaft attached on W side. External later stack appears to lie over diagonal shafts. The presence of shafts and base within the building suggests heightening of house from one and a half storeys to 2 with attics, although no evidence of this is visible in the exposed internal framing.
