SJ95NE BALL HAYE GREEN 611-1/1/17 (North side (off)) Fowlchurch Farmhouse
II
Farmhouse, now house. C17 in origin, remodelled early C19. Coursed and squared sandstone, with scallop-tiled roof. 3-unit plan. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 3-window range. Rear elevation substantially C17, with original doorway to left with plain stone lintel, and two 3-light chamfered mullioned windows to ground floor, and a further similar window above. Present entrance towards right, in added porch, with lean-to service room beyond obscuring possible further original fenestration. Front elevation as remodelled in early C19: doorway to left of centre, with arched panelled door in chamfered architrave. 3 windows on each floor, all 3-light casements in chamfered stone architraves. Tooled angle quoins. Chamfered gable end and axial (between the 2 right-hand units) stacks. INTERIOR: has 3-room plan, with C17 stone hood to fireplace in one room. One room has C17 wall-panelling (not in situ); another has dado panelling, and a panelled chimney breast with low-relief carved panel, and incorporating 2 fitted cupboards probably assembled from fragments reworked during the C19. HISTORICAL NOTE: the farm was originally part of the property of the nearby Dieu-la-Cres Abbey. It was the property of William Brough, a local silk manufacturer, in the C19, and it is likely that he was responsible for its remodelling. Although there is a datestone of 1849 over the doorway, the house was shown in its present form in a watercolour dated 1825.
