Abstract:		 The house and garden, which extends behind the properties to the south of the development site, were once part of a larger complex with an H-plan focal centre. The buildings forming the southern crossing of the H now make up the neighbouring residence and the garage still belonging to Maxfield House. The northern crosswing, which was truncated piecemeal between 1840 and 1972, extends eastwards. The surviving core of Maxfield House, a Grade II listed building, is mid-late 17th century, timber framed and encased in brick in the 18th century. The original extent of the brick building is defined by the chimneys in the north-south orientated range. This was subsequently extended northwards after which the crosswing was built. This appears to have been completed by 1775 when the roof was constructed by W. Wright. The building has been extended with outshuts under a catslide roof and a 2-storey addition to the rear. The outshuts are not depicted on the maps, but the brickwork appears to be 19th century, the same date as the outbuilding to the southwest. The central lobby is 20th century. Although various structural and architectural elements of the building were exposed during the watching brief, only the foundations for the northern crosswing and a possible return wall beneath the outbuilding were revealed during the ground reduction.
