House. Mid C17 and mid C18. Red brick, in irregular bond to rear wing,
with plain tiled roof. Regular C18 entrance block to truncated C17
(and early C19 range) at rear. Two storeys on plinth with moulded
cornice with widely spaced modillions to hipped roof with stacks to
rear left and to rear right. Regular fenestration of 5 glazing bar
sashes on first floor and 4 on ground floor with gauged heads. Central
door of 6 panels with pilastered doorcase with pediment, a good quality
mid C20 replacement of C19 cast iron flat hood, now at Vigo Farmhouse
(item 4/78 ). Blank window space on upper left return, the sash
below preserving early C18 thick glazing bars. Rear wing with 2 sashes
to each floor on left return elevation, irregular fenestration to rear.
Interior: the rear (kitchen wings) preserve chamfered beams, inglenook
and strap hinge doors of C17 building (c.1640) for the Wood family,
although with possible earlier timber framed origin. The C18 wing
joins the older range somewhat awkwardly particularly on the upper
floor. Main reception and bedrooms with panelling, that to left of
entrance hall particularly fine, with raised and fielded panelling,
modillion cornice, broken pedimented overmantel and cornices over doors.
Simpler dado panelling elsewhere, with lugged and pulvinated fire surrounds,
and keyed semi-circular headed side cupboards. Fine stair along 2
sides of entrance hall, with wreathed and ramped moulded handrail on
long turned balusters on carved open string brackets, with fluted columned
newels. Dado panelling with fluted pilasters echoing newel posts.
Some excellent limited restoration work c. 1950 by Arthur Cotton of
Hythe (as also with the garden walls and gates). Attached to the west
of the house a short length of wall some 4 feet high and returned south
along the road, with a mounting block of 5 steps (stone blocks on brick).
The adjacent curving gateway ensemble is mid C20 by Arthur Cotton of
Hythe, in well detailed matching style.
