House. Inscribed: J Brookes, 1727; on two stones set into north gable wall;
later C18 alterations; gabled cross wing added to south gable end and rear
lean-to heightened, including cross gable, circa 1900. C18 range may in-
corporate elements of C17 farmhouse.
Knapped flint with brick dressings, brick lacing courses in north gable wall,
south wing rendered. Tile hung gable and first floor at rear. Tiled roof.
A brick ridge stack and a smaller stack inset into the north gable wall, two
brick stacks to south wing. Two storeys. Main range has lobby entry plan
with one unit to left and two units to right. Entrance front has plinth
capped in red brick. Front of four bays may be later C18 rebuild: entrance
doorway to lobby under flat hood on shaped timber brackets in second bay
from left. A 3-light casement to left of doorway and two similar 2-light
casements to right all with glazing bars and under brick segmental arched
heads. On first floor a 3-light casement to left and three 2-light casements
to right, all with glazing bars and projecting timber head moulds. A 3-light
casement on both floors in gable end wall of projecting south wing; the
ground floor casement with transoms. A central recessed porch in the south
wall of the wing and 3 and 2-light casements with bars similar to front
gable end. In the north gable end wall a blocked doorway to left with win-
dow inset and a doorway to right with a 2-light casement with leadlights
above on first floor. The C20 single storey sun room added at the rear is
not of special interest.
Interior not inspected, but the main range is said to have substantial ex-
posed chamfered bridging beams and exposed joists over the ground floor; two
ingelnook fireplaces to the central stack. A long flint boundary wall to
the street, probably C18, is of special interest.
