Primrose Hill Farmhouse

Primrose Hill Farmhouse is a late 15th-century building with timber-framed south and east fronts that were fronted in brick in the early 20th century. It features pitched tile roofs and brick chimneys, and it stands two storeys tall. The hall range is close-studded and has arched bracing. Originally, the hall was open to the roof, but a floor was inserted above it in the late 16th century. A 16th-century window was added to the ground floor on the north side, which is mostly obscured by a modern two-storey timber-framed porch. The cross wing is constructed of post and truss, with a central chimney. The west elevation has two blocked 15th-century windows with original mullions on the first floor, while the rest of the west elevation features three casements with lead glazing bars on each floor. The ground floor has been largely refronted with brick. Inside, the hall range shows heavy smoke blackening and contains two tiers of curved windbracing and four surviving trusses, including a spere truss with braces from the posts forming a sharply-pointed arch, and a king-post truss with a pair of heavy struts rising from the collar.
