Description

TL 31NE THUNDRIDGE CAMBRIDGE ROAD (east side) 2/7 The Old Farmhouse and Roseberry Cottage at Mole's Farm

II

Farmhouse, now 2 houses. C17 ('1637' and carpenter's mark on a board found in alterations). Narrower W half (Roseberry Cottage) is probably a near contemporary extension to the unusually wide E part, which may itself have had a non-domestic origin or be a fragment of a much larger building. Plastered with an old red tile roof. Projecting plinth and floorband. Probably timberframed partly replaced in red brick beneath the plaster. Small gabled tiled porch on N serving W half. E half, 2-storeys and attics and 2-windows wide with slightly recessed boxed sash windows with 8/8 panes. 2 flat-topped dormers on N slope. Small casement windows on N elevation of W half but larger on E face. Very large projecting E gable chimney with large open fireplace on ground floor. Interior of E part nearly 8 metres wide and heavy chamfered stopped, ceiling beams on both floors divide it into 2 bays, each with 2 similar longitudinal beams, as if the original accommodation was a single large room on each floor, each with a large end fireplace. A-frame pegged oak roof trusses of wide span.
