Description

Coxfold Farmhouse is a house that likely dates from the early 17th century and was altered in the mid-20th century. It features timber-framing, which has been partly replaced by brick and is mostly rendered, with a tile roof and a lobby-entry plan. The building has two storeys and two bays. The front wall is rendered brick with 20th-century windows and applied timbers, featuring one window on each side of a single-storey gabled porch and four small windows on the first floor. To the left, there is a single-storey lean-to addition. The base of the chimney cap is made of 17th-century brick, with 20th-century brick above. The rear wall displays exposed framing on the upper storey, arranged in square panels with straight tension braces.

Inside, the right-hand room contains a chamfered and stopped main joist supported by a carved timber bracket at the plastered chimney breast. Adjacent to the chimney is a built-in oak cupboard from the 18th century. The left-hand room features chamfered and stopped common joists and an axial main beam with ox-tongue stops. The inglenook fireplace is lined with 20th-century brick. On the first floor, there is a single central truss situated between the brick flues of the two chimneys, which includes a tie-beam, collar, and raking struts. This truss was originally closed, and on the landing, where it is now exposed, remnants of a partition wall's studs and a cambered doorhead cut into the beam's soffit can be seen. During 20th-century alterations, the soffit was found to have "1617" roughly carved on it, which is a plausible date for the house, although the numerals do not appear to be of 17th-century style.
