Fullbridge House, boundary walls and rear yard (EHER 38281)

A large Gault brick house, built in 1827 but which retains the substantial remains of a 17th century or earlier timber frame within the external walls. It is largely three storey but has single-storey ancillary blocks, and has a red brick boundary wall.

October 1951. Grade II listed. A large Gault brick house with red brick details and some render. It was built in 1827 and has earlier origins. The building is largely three storey but has single-storey ancillary blocks. It is on an 'L-shaped' plan. The roofs are covered with plain tile. The main (south-west) elevation is of yellow Gault brick with a plain parapet and plain tile roof. On the ground floor is a recessed pair of doors and either side of this are square, flat-roofed bay windows. To the south-west of this is a recessed two-storey block with plain parapet, and in the angle between the blocks is a single-storey flat-roofed porch. To the south-west again is a single-storey matching block with a plain parapet. The exposed flank is canted and curves down in short steps to a red brick, slate roofed block at the rear. The north-west roadside elevation is similar in detail to others but is of a pink-tinged Gault brick. There is a red brick boundary wall linked to the roadside elevation. The rear (south-east) part of the roadside range has a stone plaque inscribed 'REBUILT 1827' on the first floor. Internally, the building retains much of its period detail, including a simple panelled room on the ground floor (south-east corner) and a dogleg staircase with stick balusters and shaped tread ends. Recent alteration revealed substantial remains of a 17th century or earlier timber frame within the external walls. <1> See photo <2>
