Type and Period

Description

2013. Building survey. The range is timber-framed and weatherboarded, with a thatched roof. Externally it would appear to have been built in one phase, but internal evidence and historic mapping shows it was built in at least two stages, initially probably around the time of the Hall and later on in the 19th century. However, due to its largely generic post-medieval form of construction, it is difficult to assess more precise phasing. The earliest part contains bridle scarf joints and external bracing, but most of the other parts are primary-braced. Few historic fixtures and fittings remain due to its more recent domestic uses as garaging, pump room for the swimming pool, and others, but the framing survives well. <1>
