Abstract: |
The building is a Grade II listed Wealden house, originally with a 2-bay open hall and a 2-storey bay at the southern end. However, the northern end of the building appears to have been foreshortened and it is possible that a second 2-storey bay once stood here. A chimney stack and upper floor were inserted in the early 17th century and the adjoining range constructed at much the same time. The newly installed first floor was accessed from the adjoining range until the present staircase was constructed in the 19th century. The ground floor door between the two buildings was blocked in the 20th century, perhaps at the same time that the rear entrance hall was sub-divided. The external walls were rebuilt in the 18th or early 19th century and a porch, bay window and external chimney stack to the north added not long afterwards. At much the same time a fireplace was installed in the southern bedroom and the chimney stack fairly elaborately linked with the 17th century one. A cellar was also built in the 19th century but backfilled in the 20th century and a WC installed over the cellar stairs. Flat ceilings appear to have been inserted in the first floor rooms in the 19th century, obscuring the lath and plaster covered rafters above. Traces of early 17th-century wall painting, consisting of white curlicues on a red background within a lozenge shaped border, were revealed within a first floor room. |
