Abstract: |
This grade II-listed farmhouse appears to date from the L16th century and consists of a single timber-framed cross-wing with a jettied southern gable and later extension to the north. The 1848 tithe survey shows it as Motts Farm. The farmhouse is depicted as an outbuilding and was probably unoccupied. The barn lies 15 m north of the farmhouse and had been partly converted and sold into separate ownership before inspection. It is weatherboarded and pantiled, with five-bays on an east-west axis with a central porch to the south, which in its present form dates from the mid-19th century and was probably newly built in 1848 (when a barn of similar outline was shown on the tithe map). The barn contains 19th century features including bolted knee-braces to its tie-beams and diagonal primary braces to its walls, but most of the individual timbers were re-used from a L16th century domestic building. The principal posts and tie-beams of the two eastern bays may remain in situ, and originally formed a three-bay cross-wing with a single-bay chamber to the east and a two-bay chamber to the west lit by a tripartite oriel window with cavetto-moulded mullions in its gable. This may survive from a second Tudor house on the site, but probably represents the missing jettied cross-wing of the farmhouse. It is highly unusual for a barn to contain a recognisable domestic building in this way. The structure is of considerable historic interest despite recent alterations. |
