Description

TL 5460 BOTTISHAM HIGH STREET
(North Side)

11/7 No. 89 (Tudor
House)

II

House built probably late C16 with service end to left hand
rebuilt in late C17. Timber-framed, rendered with a later
half-hipped tiled roof with a ridge stack built in C19 in style
of early C17 with grouped shafts on a rectangular base. Lobby
entry plan of three bays and a narrow fire and stairbay. Two
storeys, with the side wall jettied at first floor. There are
five C19, Tudoresque casements at first floor each with a drip
mould with return stops, possibly original but perhaps dating
from the time when the roof of the service wing was raised. The
entry is in a small hall opposite the stack, built in C19 of
clunch on a brick sill with the walls curved. The late C17
service wing is also framed and rendered but has had the roof
raised. Ridge stack. Two similar windows with arched panes at
first floor. Inside there is no evidence that there was a
closed truss between the earlier and later ranges, indicating
that the late C17 range is a rebuild of part of the original
house. The floor frames of the hall and parlour have quartered
main beams, stop chamfered. One tie-beam has two peg holes at
the centre suggesting that the roof may have been one of crown
post construction but further evidence was not seen.
