1 And 2, Ufton Fields

This is a house, originally divided into two dwellings, with significant development across several centuries. The core of the building dates to the late 14th or early 15th century, followed by remodelling in the 16th and 17th centuries, and an extension in the late 17th or early 18th century. The construction is timber-framed, with exposed framing at the rear, and faced and extended in stone rubble. The roof is covered in clay plain tiles with gabled ends, and includes brick axial and gable-end stacks.

Number 2 is a three-bay Medieval house. The two northern bays appear to have been an open hall, while the southern bay seems to have had a smoke-blackened roof and was partitioned from the hall, although the hall remained open to the roof. A central axial stack was built in the hall, and floors were inserted during the 16th and 17th centuries. A two-storey, two-room stone cross-wing was added to the south end in the late 17th or early 18th century. The west front is asymmetrical, with a gabled cross-wing on the right, and displays a single storey and attic with a four-window arrangement. C20 casements with glazing bars are visible on the front, with attic casements in gabled brick dormers. A C20 stone porch is located to the right of the centre, alongside a plank door on the left side of the cross-wing. The rear of the building displays exposed timber framing with red brick nogging, a brick outshut on the left, C20 casements, and French windows.

Inside Number 2, the left room has a deeply chamfered axial beam and joists with hollow step stops. The centre room features a deeply chamfered axial beam with broach stops, chamfered joists with hollow step stops and a large fireplace with a roughly moulded wooden bressumer. A cupboard within the fireplace has a panelled door. The right room has a deeply chamfered axial beam and joists with cyma stops. A circa late 17th or early 18th century panelled door is located on the first floor. The Medieval roof is smoke-blackened and includes full cruck trusses; the central and left bays represent the original open hall with an arch-braced truss featuring cambered collars with small ogee arches and square-set ridgepieces. The truss at the south end of the hall has a similar apex with a lap-jointed collar and no arch braces. Later wattle-and-daub infilling is smoke-blackened on the hall side. A tie-beam and collar truss is at the south end, and trenched purlins have curved wind-braces; common-rafters are largely intact. Number 1 has a chamfered beam on the ground floor with hollow step stops, a brick fireplace, old plank doors, and a winder staircase with simple stick balusters at the top.
