stable building now a garage with double doors in the W gable
end. Flint and brick plinth to clay lump walls, plastered
externally. Higher plinth on N retaining road at higher level.
Steep thatched roof with small loft door in dormer on roadside.
Clay lumps 20" x 7". Continuous wall plate and split pole
rafters. 2 bay roof. Half floored. Entrance in E end. Middle
part abutting on E is a narrower stable with clay lump walls on
flint foundations. The courses follow the slope of the hill.
Stable doors on S side. Steep thatched side purlin roof with
spreaders. Irregularly spaced tie beams with collars over.
Interesting vertical thatched partition over tie beam at E end of
this part. At E end a shorter, formerly open fronted, narrow
thatched section. Side walls formed of frame of slender
undressed tree trunks with natural forked tops carrying similar
undressed wall plates. Timbers in N wall built into flint wall
for full height. Some lath and plaster infill on S. Gabled
steep thatched roof on similar rough framework. The buildings
probably survive from when the house served as an inn. Survivals
of obsolete forms of building construction of great interest.
