II*

Hall house, C14 or C15, altered in C16 and C20, extended in C20. Timber- framed, plastered, roof thatched. 2-bay hall with integral storeyed parlour/solar end at SW, and integral service end at NE. In the mid-C16 a timber-framed smoke hood was constructed in the NE bay of the hall. Later in the century a brick chimney stack was built within it, backing onto the cross-entry, and a floor inserted in the SW bay of the hall. Single storey extension to SW, circa 1970. Plain door, 4 C20 casement windows, and one in a swept dormer. The arch-headed window is an introduction from elsewhere, circa 1938, in the position of the original front door. Roof half-hipped at SW end, gabled at NE. Timber-framing exposed internally. Jowled storey posts, cambered central tiebeam with one arch-brace in situ; collar-rafter roof, original over hall and heavily smoke-blackened. Floor of service end rebuilt, but evidence of unglazed windows establishes that the service end was storeyed from the outset. There is a genuine medieval solid-tread stair in the service end, a rare feature, although it was introduced from elsewhere circa 1938. The timber-framed smoke hood has survived intact, occupying the whole NE bay of the hall at first-floor level, a very rare survival. Possibly only one other exists in Essex, at Mashams, High Laver, in comparable condition. The 2 tiebeams at the NE end have matrices for notched-lap joints and trenches for passing braces. Measurement suggests that these C13 timbers have been re-used and shortened, although they are original to this building. RCHM 6.
