gabled projection and one range of windows to right of it.
Early C19-style patterned lead and timber casements of 3

5-light oriels in gable. Ground-floor windows to left of door
have shutters. Door in hipped hooded porch in angle with

of large lead-paned casements, continued to south in brick.
Rear L-plan plus a narrow C20 projection for bathroom etc. in

hollow-chamfered beam. Exposed posts to front wall and
parlour. Exposed timber-framing with arch braces to west wall

cellar and trough. Regency style staircase with stick
balusters and wreathed mahogany handrail. First floor: exposed

There is certainly one and possibly 3 cruck trusses.
HISTORICAL NOTE: in its original form the house had a central
hall open to the roof and heated by an open hearth; the
fireplace was installed C16 when an upper floor was added.


Parlour created late C16 by adding projecting gabled bay at
front, lit by large oriel windows. C16 rear wing was
originally a malthouse. 'The house was largely unaltered until
the Regency period .. when it received a new staircase and
rear extensions, and the windows were given 'Gothick' leaded
lights.' (Charlton Kings Local History Society Bulletin). 2
inventories survive (GRO 1684/231 and GRO 1712/186, noted as
before).
