7/23 No. 125 (Kynaston Farmhouse)

GV II

House. C16 or earlier, much altered in C20. Timber framed, roughcast, rendered, roofed with interlocking concrete tiles. 3 bays facing NE with axial stack, C20 extension at left end with end stack. C20 conservatory at rear. 2 storeys. 3 C20 casements on ground floor, 2 more on first floor, of which one is in a gabled half-dormer. C20 door. Low-pitched roof. A transverse beam extends through the front and rear walls, mortised and tusk-tenoned outside. The interior of the right bay has exposed studding in the end wall, heavy and widely-spaced, and heavy longitudinal joists of horizontal section. The next bay has the inserted beam already noted, chamfered with lamb's tongue stops, and chamfered joists of vertical section, all with lamb's tongue stops. The original wallplates are just above first-floor level. The walls were raised approx. 1.30 metres and the roof rebuilt in c.1954, following a thatch fire. Little of the original structure is exposed, but the inserted floor is C17, and the joists of the right bay suggest a late medieval origin which cannot be confirmed on evidence visible at time of survey. All internal tiebeams severed or removed.
