HEMINGSTONE BULLS ROAD TM 15 SW 6/114 Willow Cottage

- II

House; C16 in 2 stages. 2 storeys, 3-cell plan with cross-passage entrance. Timber-framed and plastered. Pantiled roofs, once thatched. C16 or early C17 axial chimney of red brick. C20 casements. C20 entrance porch, gabled and pantiled, with framed and boarded door; another C20 glazed door at cross- passage position. A rare example of a C16 house with a rear aisle, which in this instance is an alteration. The narrow original house contained a smoke- bay, a fragment of whose coupled-rafter roof remains. In later C16 the lower rear wall was removed and the aisle added to the hall and service cells. The upper floor was rebuilt. A parlour block was added, with close-studding, diamond mullioned window evidence and a coupled-rafter roof. A large lintelled fireplace built in C16 within the old smoke-bay has a lintel from a timber-framed chimney of intermediate date. Evidence for arched cross-entry doorways of both phases.
