Description


TQ 64 SE BRENCHLEY BRENCHLEY ROAD, HOMEBUSH

6/45 Whitethorn Cottage

II

House, formerly 2 cottages. probably late C17, late C20 alterations. Framed
construction, the ground floor underbuilt in Flemish bond brick, the first
floor tile-hung; brick stacks.

Plan: The house faces north, fronting the road. The original arrangement
appears to have been 2 cottages each with a principal room heated from an end
stack and a service room in a rear outshut and entrances into a passage at the
centre of the range. The passage partitions have been removed and the house
is now entered on the left (east) return.

Exterior: 2 storeys, and attic. Symmetrical 3-bay front. Roof hipped at
ends; projecting end stacks with tile-hung set-offs. 2- and 3-light C19 and
C20 casement windows, the ground floor windows 2-panes per light.

Interior: Exposed carpentry includes a step-stopped crossbeam in the left
hand (east) room. Open fireplaces, the right hand fireplace with a plain
lintel and brick jambs. Wall-framing survives to the sole plate on the rear
wall, the posts with formed jowls.

Roof: Clasped purlin roof, some of the timbers replaced.
