II
House. Late C15/early C16 with mid-C19 front. Timber-framed; fronted in red brick; C20 plaintiled roof. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys: this is a 2-bay fragment of a larger house. One window to each storey: a 2-light small-paned casement to the upper storey and a sash in plain reveals to the ground storey. Recessed C20 entrance door in traditional style, up 3 steps with wrought-iron handrails. The door and the ground storey window have flat rendered arches. An end chimney-stack has a plain rebuilt red brick shaft. INTERIOR: most of the timber frame survives inside with substantial quite widely spaced studding and some remains of original wattle-and-daub infill. Shutter slides and empty mortices are evidence for paired 4-light diamond-mullioned windows on both storeys: one rear ground storey window has mullions still in situ. The main transverse beam on the ground storey has been mutilated, but retains triangle stops. The associated joists are wide and unchamfered. The trusses have cambered tie-beams; arched braces remain in the end truss on the west, which has no evidence of original studding. The tie-beam of the open truss has a central mortice and peg for the base of a missing crown-post; the collar-purlin has been reused to make 2 side purlins. Removal of the crown-post structure is related to the chimney-stack, inserted in the later C16 into the eastern bay, but with 2 back-to-back hearths, one serving the now missing part of the house. The stack is in Tudor brick with a wide plain cambered lintel to the ground storey hearth.
