2. House. Re-erected in 1926 after having been exhibited at the 1925 British
Empire Exhibition at Wembley. Timber-framed with plastered infilling, with close
studding and tension braces. Slightly pitched hipped plain tile roof and large
brick aerial stacks. Intended to be a facsimile of a Wealdon house, although
archaeologically not correct. Open hall with storeyed service end with jettied
chamber over and parlour with jettied solar. Large arched braces and central bracket
under the continuous eaves over the hall. Screen passage doorway to right of
hall with tiled canopy. Multi-light hall window with some lights parelled over.
Three-light solar and lower end first floor chamber windows with square bays below
under the jetties. All windows are wooden mullion casements with either diamond
or square leaded panes. Four hipped dormers two of which light the hall. Rear
wing at lower end with half-hipped roof and catslide over outshot. Two large
brick aerial chimney stacks emerging from the ridge.

Interior. Open hall with roof structure exposed and with gallery. Large
stack at end of hall is Flemish bond brickwork and with cambered arch wooden fire-
place beam with sunken spandrels. The parlour has wooden screens and moulded ceiling
beams including a dragon beam.

The house was exhibited at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley by the Federated
Home Crown Timber Merchants Association to demonstrate the use of native timber.
