Crabs Green Farmhouse (EHER 38004)

Late 16th to early 17th century timber-framed farmhouse.

Farmhouse of about 1600 or earlier. It is timber-framed and plastered with gabled pegtile roofs. The house is basically, of 'T' plan form, with a crosswing at the south-east end and a similarly sized 'display' gable balancing the south front. There is a very large brick stack on the south-east flank with asymmetrical off-sets, some with tile cladding and a lean-to in corner. It has lean-to extensions to the rear, and the windows are 20th century casements with small panes and the south entrance door has a 19th century surround with flat hood on shaped brackets. A further tall stack rises against the north west gable. Internally, the substantial frame is partly exposed. <1> See: <2>
