TR 04 SE BROOK TROY TOWN

4/66 Troy Town
House and
15.3.88 wall

GV II*

House. Late C17. Red and blue brick with plain tiled roof. Lobby
entry 3 unit plan. Two storeys on high plinth with plat band and
boxed eaves to roof with stack to centre left. Three glazing bar
sashes with 2 intermediate wooden casements on first floor, and 3
tripartite wooden casements with segmental lintels on ground floor.
Raised and fielded panelled door to centre left in moulded, pylon shaped
architrave with segmental hood on brackets. Continuous and integral
catslide outshot to rear. Short section of garden wall, about 3 feet
high, projecting some 20 metres or so from end left. Interior: all
the timber work is of Baltic pine, with large moulded ceiling beams
and joists and chimney bressumer. Panelled, and plank and mullion
doors with fanlights. Fine dog-leg stairs in hall with turned
balusters and flat moulded rail, rising through 3 flights. Signature
of Richard Cullen in attic, dated 1744, though the house is probably
some 100 years earlier. The building is an almost identical, but
smaller and probably slightly later version of Naccolt Farmhouse,
also in Brook (see item 4/49), both preserving the late medieval 3
unit plan whilst attempting some symmetry of facade, and with prodigious
and locally early use of fittings and details particularly the use of
Baltic Pine. (See Traditional Kent Buildings, Vol 5).
