4/17 Folly Farmhouse

- II

Farmhouse. C16 or earlier with later additions. Timber-framed upper floors to earlier part with wattle-and-daub and partly brick infill; brick with fictive timbering to C19 addition; tiled roofs. Apparently hall and cross- wing plan with entrance in angle. 2 storeys; irregular fenestration; main part has projecting gable to right underbuilt in brick and with one range of windows; to left, taller "hall" range overlaps, this has one window in centre on first floor and one to ground floor to left of entrance; 4 panel mid C19 door. Lower apparently mid C19 extension to left has 2 C20 case- ments on first floor, one C20 casement with cambered head and one plain C19 sash on the ground floor; gable end chimney stacks, the right hand one being the one belonging to the main part of the house. Rear, the timber- framing is in better condition and the cross-wing retains its jetty. Various lean-to additions of later date on either side of house and to rear. It is suggested that the left hand wing is part of an earlier lower cruck-built main range which was partly raised and floored in the C17, thus giving the central (entrance) portion.
