II

Farmhouse. Probably C17, re-modelled early C18 with early to mid-C19
additions and alterations. Purple and red brick (random and English
bonds respectively); plain tiled roofs; ridge and end stacks. Probably
originally a hall and cross-wing type, the cross-wing re-built and extended
in early C18 with hall (possibly originally timber framed) re-faced in
C19, at which time a lean-to addition was built to its rear. 2 storeys
to hall (left), 2 storeys and attic to C18 cross-wing (right); hall
probably of 3 structural bays; 1:1:1 windows, all 3-light mid-C19
casements, those on ground floor of hall and ground and first floors of
cross-wing under cambered heads; mid-C19 gabled entrance porch
immediately in line with ridge stack in angle between hall and cross-
wing (note, however, that principal access may originally have been from
other side, where cross-wing projects further and where any former
entrance would now be hidden by C19 lean-to); floor bands carried round
cross-wing with on the long side the positions of 8 narrow bricked-up
windows visible, 4 to each floor. Interior: unchamfered spine beam and
heavy joists to left-hand ground floor room of hall, while in the back
wall to the right (formerly an external wall) timber framing was recently
discovered (1984).
