Description


THORNDON HIGH STREET
TM 16 NW
3/94 Street Farmhouse
- II
Former farmhouse. Mainly early C15 and C16. Timber framed and plastered,
thatched roof. 1½ storeys and attic. 3-cell form with former open hall.
Various casement windows. 2 diamond-mullioned windows to right, that to the
ground floor with replacement mullions. A small ground floor canted bay with
mid C20 windows. C19 doorway, the architrave with panelled jambs and a
pedimented cornice; 4-panel door. 3 gabled dormers. Internal stack with
square rendered shaft. Internally, much of the C15 framing is concealed. In
the front wall is an original cross-entry doorway with 2-centred arch. Open
truss has cambered tie beam with intact but concealed braces. Octagonal
crown-post with moulded cap and 4-way almost straight braces; base of post
concealed. Intact coupled rafters and collar purlin, all heavily sooted.
Remainder seems substantially C16. Parlour has bridging beam and closely-
spaced joists, all with a single cavetto mould. Intact open fireplace. End
wall of parlour has remains of a C16-C17 painting on plaster showing a figure
carrying a sword and staff in red with black lining. In the chamber above, a
pair of inserted upper crucks supports an attic floor above eaves level. C16
inserted hall ceiling has axial bridging beam with broach stop-chamfers, the
joists concealed. A plank and muntin screen against the cross-passage may be
contemporary. Stack inserted against outside of upper end wall of hall. The
house has been extended about 3m beyond the end of the parlour, perhaps in
C18.
