House. C16 or earlier, altered and extended early C18 and mid C20. Timber
framed and clad with render and applied framing, and extended with hammer
dressed stone and painted brick. Plain tiled roof. Three bay framed house
in origin, possibly a small Wealden type. Two storeys on plinth with plat
band to left end bay (which projects slightly to both front and rear elevations)
and with recessed central bay. Hipped roof, stepped up to left, and with
rebuilt stacks to left and to end right. Four 2 light wooden casements on
first floor and five wooden casements on ground floor of 2, 3, 1 and 3 lights,
all mid C20. Central door of 6 panels and garage doors to end left. The ground
floor stonework of the end left bay, until recently galleted, may come from
the nearby and partly demolished Maison Dieu building, at Ospringe Street,
certainly the exposed brick dressing on the plinth, the plat bands on both
front and rear elevations suggest a C17 or C18 date for the building of this
bay. Interior: full frame visible, of rather slight scantling, but with arched
tension bracing to main beams, some alteration of wall plate, probably c,1700.
Roof not accessable. Early photographs show arched braced frame exposed to
main exterior elevations.
