INTERIOR: original house of 3 bays with some reused timber including one tie-beam sooted and with arched brace pegs. Some lamb's tongue chamfer stops on bridging joists. Common joists of modest scantling with diminished haunched tenons and pendant soffits. Wall and partition framing has curved primary braces. Faced halved and bladed scarfs in wall top plates. These features suggest a mid-C17 date for the timber-framing. The only heating provided in the old house is by the C19 stack on the W gable end. Old joist trimming on the S side on the central bay and cracking of the wall plaster below suggests that originally the house was provided with a lateral stack on the S side of the central principal room and was not of lobby entrance form that is usually found in the area. Little Oakhurst, Haylands (qv) and Nunns (qv) form a group.
