Abstract: |
An historic building recording was ensued prior to the demolition of existing outbuildings and erection of the new B1 office development. High House farm has a weatherboarded exterior, characteristic of coastal Essex and thus has considerable historic significance. Its proprtions and layout are typical of 18th and early 19th century farmhouses in the region. Its interior was heavily altered in the 1970''s. The northern half of the structure survives from an earlier house on the on the site and appears to date from the late 17th or early 18th century, with walls consisting of re-used 16th century timbers. The farmyard to the west of the house contains a variety of 20th century block-work buildings of no historic significance, but includes two timber-framed structures of the mid 19th century. |
