Rough Chase And Outbuilding Adjoining To West

CASTLEMORTON CP - SO 73 NE 4/40 Rough Chase and outbuilding adjoining 29.5.73 to west - II

House and outbuilding. Early C18 and C17, with possible earlier remains. Timber-framing and brick with tile roofs. Main part of house faced with brick in English garden wall bond under a hipped roof. Two storeys, three bays. Windows are iron casements with flat heads under segmental outer arches. Door in left-hand bay under flat timber hood: Chimneys to right of door and at right. Adjoining to the left is a lower outbuilding of exposed timber-framing in three rows of square panels. In the front wall there is a doorway with a window to its right. Exposed in the left-hand gable wall is a cruck truss, truncated at collar level. The rear wall of the main block has exposed framing in irregular square panels. A rear wing appears to be of more than one build. Its rear part is close-studded and has a 6-light timber mullioned window with transom on the first floor of its gable wall. Interior: the two internal trusses of the outbuilding are of interrupted tie-beam type and probably late C17. Either the cruck in the gable is a late survival, or the building has been reconstructed.
