Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Duckend Farm [NAT]. <1>
Duck End Farm, house, about 1,100 yards south-east of the church, was built apparently in the 16th century on a rectangular plan. On the west front the upper storey formerly projected, but has been underbuilt with brick; an attic floor was inserted, probably in the 18th century.
Inside the building, the first floor is carried on heavy chamfered beams, and in the attic some of the original cambered tie-beams of the roof are visible. <2>
