INTERIOR: ground floor much rebuilt and with imitation
timber-framing. 2 bayed main range and 3 bayed cross-wing.
Building sequence: (1) Late C16 main range of one and a half
storeys, slightly cambered tie-beam and halved and bridled
scarf joint in wall plate. (2) Early C17 cross-wing with
tie-beam and curved arched bracing, raking queen struts above
and face halved and bladed scarf in wall plate. Principal
floor joists have lamb's tongue chamfer stops. (3) Later C17
roof of main range raised to level of cross-wing to create 2
full storeys. Rear bay of cross-wing probably rebuilt then,
(rudimentary primary braced studding). RCHM, South Weald
Monument 13, notes a principal stack `cross shaped and set
diagonally' i.e. of early C17 type, no doubt contemporary with
the cross-wing. Single storey C20 additions added to NW and SE
end not to be included in the listing.
