Details

CODDENHAM NEEDHAM ROAD TM 15 SW 7/33 The Shrubberies - - II

House, c.1840 in the Gothick manner, with core of C16 and perhaps earlier. 2 storeys. Timber-framed, largely encased in C19 flint rubble with dressings of red brick. A dentil eaves cornice of gault brick. At the rear, the timber- framing is plastered. The main building has a short single-storey hall range with symmetrical cross-wings, but this may be due to C19 remodelling. Plaintiled roofs; the cross-wings are hipped; fleur-de-lys crested ridge tiles. Mid C19 chimneys of red brick with clusters of 2 and 3 octagonal shafts with moulded caps and bases. C19 windows with 4-centred arched heads, hood-moulded; small-pane casements, and the spandrels above have intersecting glazing bars. C19 single-storey open entrance porch of red brick; 4-centred arched openings and embattled parapets. 6-panelled door. Other entrance doorways have hood-moulded 2-centred arched heads and battened and boarded doors. To right is a mid C19 wing of red brick with hood-moulded small-pane sashes. A much altered 3-cell C16 house with plain crown post roof and massive unchamfered floor joists forms the central nucleus but there is a little evidence for fragmentary mediaeval work: a storey-post has evidence for an arch-braced open hall truss. The roof level has here been raised but the low eaves level remains at the front.
