Description

EARL STONHAM BLACKSMITH'S LANE TM 06 SE 1/85 Jockeys Farmhouse - GV II

Former farmhouse. Probably c.1576 (see below). 2 storeys. 3-cell cross- passage entrance plan. Timber framed and plastered. Plaintiled roof with axial chimney of red brick; a dentilled wooden early C19 eaves cornice. Mainly mid C20 casements. C19 6-panelled entrance door. Complete unmoulded framing exposed internally: floor joists with narrow chamfers and run-out stops. Studwork with arch stud-bracing and diamond-mullioned windows, some of which are restored and glazed. 3 open fireplaces, each with a plain oak lintel; around the stack is an original newel stair. Clasped-purlin roof with cranked wind-braces. A clap-boarded 1st storey partition may be a part of the repositioned cross-passage screen. A 2-storey rear extension of red brick with hipped plaintiled roof is scratch-dated 1821. A document dated 1643 refers to a building lease for this site dated 1576, and may therefore give the construction date for the house. c.p. Hines Farmhouse, Earl Stonham (Item 2/111)
