Description


TQ 64 NE PADDOCK WOOD

2/315 OLD MULLIONS

II

House. Probably early/mid C17. Late C20 additions. Framed construction,
mostly weatherboarded, partly underbuilt in brick; peg-tile roof; brick stack.

Plan: South-facing. A 3 room lobby entrance plan with a rear left outshut
and 2 C20 additions on the south front. The original house is heated from
back-to-back fireplaces in an axial stack to left of centre, unheated service
room to the right. A narrow bay immediately to the right (east) of the
existing stack suggests that the house may have had a smoke bay preceding the
stack and it is possible that the basic structure is earlier than the C17 but
has been heavily remodelled and re-roofed at that date.

Exterior: 2 storeys. The front (south) elevation of the original is largely
obscured by the C20 additions. Roof gabled at ends; axial stack with 4
staggered shafts with corbelled brick cornices. Asymmetrical, 4 windows wide.
To the left C20 French windows on the first floor open on to the roof of a
flat-roofed single-storey C20 addition. Probably C20 4-pane casements
alongside the French windows to the right, similar window to the far right on
the first floor. Gabled single-storey C20music room wing projecting at right
angles to ground floor right. The rear elevation has a catslide roof to the
rear left outshut and the house is entered into the return of the outshut. 2
first floor mullioned windows, set high under the eaves on the rear wall of
the main range have diagonally-set mullions and C20 external glazing.

Interior: Exposed carpentry of a plain and rather rough character. Open
fireplaces with oak lintels and brick jambs. The hall has an axial beam and a
crossbeam, the latter, about 1 metre in front of (east of) the fireplace
corresponds to the narrow bay in the wall framing. Wall-framing with formed
jowls to the wall posts.

Roof: Clasped purlin roof, the timbers of slender scantling.
