Description

ILKETSHALL ST. ANDREW GREAT COMMON TM 38 NE 2/10 - - Dairy Farmhouse II Farmhouse. Circa 1600, with later additions. 2 storeys and attics to part, 2 storeys and I½ storeys to remainder. Timber-framed and rendered; clay pantiles to main range; late C19 red brick, dentil cornice, and black glazed pantiles to the lower part on the west. On the east, a red brick gable-end incorporating a chimney-stack: the bricks are laid in English Bond, with signs of alteration and repair; a later doorway and window have been inserted, and a small upper original window, with brick mullions, blocked. A later stack with a plain red brick shaft is at the junction of the 2 halves of the house. Projecting forward from the west end is a small C18 13-storey timber-framed wing, rendered, with black glazed pantiles, which formerly had a cellar below. Old 3-light casement windows with transomes, pintle hinges, and the hooks for former external shutters; door with 4 flush panels, the top 2 glazed. Good, plain timbering exposed inside, mainly on the upper floor; arched braces in the side walls; some blocked original windows; a main beam on the ground floor with ovolo-moulding. Roof in 5 bays, with clasped and unstepped butt purlins, and cambered collars. The basic plan is apparently of a 2-cell end chimney house, with the present entry in its original position, but the arrangement at the west end is not clear: a deep, narrow beam in front of the stack on each floor, and a small section of framing beyond it, indicate that the house extended further westwards, probably with a smoke-bay. The late C19 extension further west is a reconstruction of earlier timber-framing: the chimney-stack has C17 and C18 brick in it, and an unusual pair of faggot ovens, one above the other, all of which antedate the brick exterior.
