2/57 Ebbs House (formerly
listed as Ebbs Farmhouse)
9.12.55
GV II
Former farmhouse, c.1530 with alterations of late C16 and c.1970. 2 storeys.
Timber-framed and plastered; the front elevation is long-wall jettied with
exposed supporting knee-braces and joist-ends. Plaintiled roofs; two axial
chimneys of red brick with rebuilt C19 shafts of red brick. C19 and C20
small-pane casements. An original oriel window has a carved hammer head on
the cill, flanked by a lion to left and a gryffon to right; the return face of
the cill has on either side a shield bearing a merchant-mark, said to be that
of one Hebbe, a wool merchant in Combs. The original entrance doorway has a
4-centred arched head whose spandrels are carved with leaves and a shield
bearing the same merchant mark. The framing exposed internally is unmoulded:
unchamfered floor joists, close studding and diamond-mullion window evidence;
there was once a second oriel in the hall matching the one in the chamber
above. Crownpost roof, mainly rebuilt in C20, but square posts with thin 2-
way braces survive. The plan form of the original house is unconventional:
the main entrance doorway opens into the service end, not the hall, and there
is an additional cell here which may have been a shop. A wide open fireplaces
with cambered lintel in the hall. The cross-wing to left was added in later
C16, and there are 2 plastered arched fireplaces of early C17. Associated
with an incomplete medieval moat.
