Description

TM 38 SW RUMBURGH THE STREET

1/7 Nos.1 & 2 Pleasure Ground Cottages 1-9-53

- II

House, divided into 2. C16 and early C17. Part 1½ storeys, part 2 storeys and attic. Timber-framed and rendered with thatched roof. An internal chimney-stack with a plain shaft of partly old red brick; a later end stack on the west. Various old 3-light casement windows; plank door. The lower part of the building, to the west of the stack, is the oldest part, and seems to have been longer originally; now 3½ bays. Very widely-spaced studs; assembly marks to all main timbers; edge-halved scarf joints with long halvings to each wallplate. In the middle bay a clamp supports the ends of a set of joists different in texture and colour from the remainder; these may be a later insertion. The middle truss had no tie-beam; the remaining tie-beams, which had arched braces, have been cut. Considerable rearrangement of rafters. Blocked original windows on upper floor. To the east of the stack, a typical parlour addition, probably of the early C17.
