ULLENHALL

SP16NW HENLEY ROAD (OFF) 652-1/5/227 Impsley Farmhouse and associated 10/08/89 outbuildings immediately to north-west

II

Farmhouse with associated outbuildings. Probably earlier C16 with later alterations and extensions including c1980s restorations and conversion of outbuildings to domestic use. Timber-framed with later brick nogging; tiled roofs, hipped to left, otherwise gable-ended. 4-units in series with 2 wings to rear. EXTERIOR: the house appears originally to have consisted of a 2-bay open hall with storeyed end. The right-hand (or south-east) hall bay was probably floored first and jettied slightly into the remaining open bay: evidence confused by disturbance caused by the later insertion of a stack c1700 (since removed) and associated with former winder stairs to the rear. The north-west bay of the hall contains a number of smoke-blackened roof timbers. In the C17 the remaining open hall bay was floored, the stack inserted between the 2 right-hand units forming a lobby entrance, and the brick infilling added. The 2 rear wings (much altered) are of different dates, that to the rear of the south-east hall bay possibly c1676-99. Timber-framing: small panelling with curved and straight angle-braces; queen-post roof with V-struts above collar. Front: irregular 5-window range; much of the framing is visible. No original windows (mostly 1-, 2- and 3-light casements, one top-hung, one bowed, and one sash, all with glazing bars) but one (first floor, to right of porch) may occupy an early window opening. Framed gabled porch to left of centre with cambered lintel to outer doorway (the timbers probably reused); tiled roof. Substantial plinth mostly obscured by a raised walkway approached by steps to the left, the wall rebuilt in late C20. Both returns with much exposed framing, that to the right with one 2-light casement to each floor, that to the left with late C20 first-floor door approached by open timber stairs. Rear: 2 gabled wings of slightly different heights and width, and masonry joint between; Victorian window openings with cambered brick arches, all with later 3-light casements with glazing bars. Hipped porch to right. Between the wings and the north-west bay (where further framing is visible) the elevation projects under a catslide roof. The outbuildings immediately to the north-west are contemporary and formed part of the farmstead. A single-storeyed framed structure under hipped roof links the house with the remnants of the barn of similar construction to the house. 2 bays only with end framing visible to north-east, Victorian brickwork to south-west. Both these structures have undergone considerable internal modification, and 2-light casement windows have been inserted. INTERIOR: noted as having framing intact and largely visible (partially removed from extreme north-east section). Chamfered ceiling beams; a mullioned window to rear first floor obscured internally by later wing. Ogee braces to open-hall central truss; changes at first floor level between former hall and storeyed ends. Some planked and ledged doors. Flag floor to entrance hall.
