Pearl Farmhouse

GV
II

Former farmhouse; late C15 or early C16 core with major remodelling of late
C17. A mid C19 cross-wing at the left hand end. 1 storey and attics to main
range. Originally of 3-cell plan; the former parlour cell was rebuilt in C19.
Timber framed and plastered. Pantiled roofs with axial chimneys of red brick;
one gabled casement dormer. C19 casements. Stable-type entrance door at
rear. A greatly-altered open hall house: the hall-has an end wall with
exposed arch windbraced studwork. The open truss has been removed, but one
post has part of a chamfered arch-brace, rising from a pilaster which has been
cut back. There is evidence for a rear cross-entry doorway with adjacent
spere. A large lintelled open fireplace in the former cross-passage (the
lintel is reused from a timber framed chimney). In late C17 an upper floor
was inserted in the hall with joists chamfered and laid flat; the service cell
was demolished and rebuilt larger, and the whole roof rebuilt with butt
purlins.
