GV II

House. C14 and 1871. Timber framed, exposed and restored with plaster
infill, clad to rear in part with tile hanging, and extended with red
brick. Plain tiled roofs. Hall house plan with cross wings (the
service wing rebuilt 1871). One storey and attic hall with two storey
cross wing with jetty returned on dragon post. Hipped cross wing
roof, with truncated stack projecting at end left, stack to centre
right and at end right a 2 storey C19 block, with plinth, plat and
hipped roof with 4 glazing bar sashes on each floor, the framed portion
with mullioned and transomed windows, as also to central hipped dormer.
Four centred arched C20 plank door in raking porch to centre right.
Interior: base cruck hall truss survives (1 of 2 or 3 only in Kent)
with curved braces and with hollow chamfered moulding extending from
base of crucks, along braces and to massive moulded tie beam, with tall
moulded octagonal crown post. Rafters largely replaced mid C20, some -
smoke blackened originals remain. The wall adjoining the house to the
north has some reset stonework (the house had a stone Gothic porch pre
1930's) which appears C19, but may reflect an earlier stone built
house, added to by the framed wing, then replaced by the C19 brick wing.
