Bevingdon House (NAT). <1>
Bevingdon House, Belchamp Otten, is an early 17th century two-storeyed timber-framed and plaster building, on a half 'H' shaped plan. It was altered and refronted in the 18th century. <2>
Bevingdon House, nearly 3/4 mile ENE of the church, is of two storeys with attics; the walls are timber-framed and plastered, and the roofs are tiled. It was built, probably early in the 17th century, on a half H-shaped plan with the wings extending towards the south. There are several modern additions between the wings, and at the end of the south-west wing. The original central chimney-stacks of the main block and of the south-east wing have detached octagonal shafts. The main roof is hipped at the ends.
Inside the building, the south-east wing has chamfered ceiling-beams and flat joists partly exposed; the south-west wing has an open timber ceiling. Some original panelling has been re-used in various parts of the house, and there is one original panelled door with cock's head hinges. Condition - good. <3>
