Description

BRAMFORD VICARAGE LANE
TM 1246
9/95 Street Farm Cottage
II

House, early C16. Restored c.1970. 2 storeys. Timber-framed and plastered.
The upper floor is jettied on 2 sides, the rear gable clad in C18 red brick.
Concrete tiled roof with axial chimney of red brick. Mainly C20 casements.
Single-storey gabled entrance porch added c.1980 with boarded stable door. A
good quality timber-framed house, but probably only a parlour cross-wing to an
originally larger house. The jettied upper floor joists support a moulded
bressumer, and at the corner is a partly exposed corner-post. This is well
carved with a thistle and other mouldings, and has the initial 'W' on the
exposed face, probably for the surname of the owner. In the parlour the main
beams are rib moulded and have trailing leaf carvea soffits. Plain crown-pose
roof. Very closely spaced studding, and one surviving rib-moulded mullioned
window at 1st floor. Various small gabled and lean-to extensions of C17 or
C18. Until mid C20 the house had been 2 cottages; it probably ceased to be a
farmhouse in C19.
