Description

NRHE data transfer: Felsted Place (NAT). <1> Felsted Place. House of the 17th century or earlier with rear wing and later additions and alterations, remodelled 1720. Grade II. <2> Felstead Place, house, 200 yards SSE of the church, is of two storeys with cellars and attics. It was originally of L-shaped plan, with the wings extending towards the south and east. The Kitchen block is also of the 17th century, and perhaps formed a detached building south-east of the east wing. The house was remodelled about 1720, when the two blocks were joined up and the eaves-cornice added to the main block. There is a small modern addition on the north-east. Inside the building is a little original moulded ceiling-beam. In an alcove, south of the present hall, is a moulded and dentilled fascia, originally external and possibly in situ. In the cellar is a circular well of brick. <3> See: <4>
