(Formerly listed as: Coneybury)

II

House. Late C16 with late C19 remodelling and mid-C20 alterations.
Part timber-framed with rendered infill, brick refacing and replacement
walling; also refaced with some C19 timber framing; plain tiled roofs.
Three framed bays aligned north/south; central chimney bay with partly
rebuilt star-plan stack; single-bay wing projects to west side of central
bay. Two storeys and attic with dormers and cellar. Framing: visible
in west side elevation; upper row of panels visible in south bay; wing
has irregular panelling at ground floor level, close-set vertical studding
at first-floor level, and fishbone truss in gable end. East entrance
elevation: brick at ground-floor level, C19 framing at first floor level;
ground floor has two 4-pane sashes, first floor has a 4-light and two
2-light casements; two gabled dormers with 2-light casements, moulded
bargeboards and pendant finials; main entrance to right of centre has a flat
moulded canopy on shaped brackets, a moulded architrave and 6-panelled
C20 door; 2-light cellar window to left.

INTERIOR: ogee stop-chamfered
cross-beamed ceiling in south bay; large back-to-back central fireplace;
west wall-frame, part of roof structure and complete west wing intact.
A single-bay C19 addition adjoins to the north-west and a large lean-to
addition to the south-west. The building is linked by a C19 single-storey
wing to a C19 single-bay two-storey outbuilding, which now forms the kitchen
of the present house. The building is noted as having been built on the
site of a miller's house forming part of nearby Bayton Mill (now demolished).
It was probably a large building of some refinement c1600, the west wing
possibly forming the porch wing of a lobby-entry plan.
