December 1973. Grade II listed. A 14th/15th century or earlier crosswing house with 17th, 18th and 20th century alterations and additions. There is documentary evidence to suggest an origin in 1319. The house is timber framed and plastered and has red plain tiled roofs. It is two storeys to the left of the crosswing and in the left hipped bay, and is single storey with attics to the rights. The interior features include much exposed timber with chamfered bridging joists, halved arched bracing in the crosswing frame and collars to each rafter pair, as well as the original mullion windows; halved and bridled top plate scarf; two inglenook fireplaces; several good corner cupboards; and 17th and 18th century vertically boarded doors with original ironmongery. One first floor room has rows of dowel holes and is believed to have been an original cheese loft. <1> See photos <2>. The house is situated north of the Hatfield Road, 200m west of the River Blackwater. Documentary evidence traces the building of the house to before 1319. The crosswing design has been added to over time but the frame is still visible with original mullion windows. One room is thought to have served as a cheese loft. The Hall is recorded under Ulting parish from before the 16th century (D/DC 27/529) and possibly much earlier but was once held under the manor of Langford and may have served as a Manor house at some time. <3> See also <4>.
