Fowlchurch Farmhouse

II

Farmhouse, now house. C17 in origin, remodelled early C19.
Coursed and squared sandstone, with scallop-tiled roof. 3-unit
plan.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 3-window range. Rear elevation
substantially C17, with original doorway to left with plain
stone lintel, and two 3-light chamfered mullioned windows to
ground floor, and a further similar window above. Present
entrance towards right, in added porch, with lean-to service
room beyond obscuring possible further original fenestration.
Front elevation as remodelled in early C19: doorway to left of
centre, with arched panelled door in chamfered architrave. 3
windows on each floor, all 3-light casements in chamfered
stone architraves. Tooled angle quoins. Chamfered gable end
and axial (between the 2 right-hand units) stacks.
INTERIOR: has 3-room plan, with C17 stone hood to fireplace in
one room. One room has C17 wall-panelling (not in situ);
another has dado panelling, and a panelled chimney breast with
low-relief carved panel, and incorporating 2 fitted cupboards
probably assembled from fragments reworked during the C19.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the farm was originally part of the property
of the nearby Dieu-la-Cres Abbey. It was the property of
William Brough, a local silk manufacturer, in the C19, and it
is likely that he was responsible for its remodelling.
Although there is a datestone of 1849 over the doorway, the
house was shown in its present form in a watercolour dated
1825.
