Description

Hawkin's Harvest is a house largely dating to around 1600, with a fragment of a 15th-century structure, extended in the 20th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The house has five bays facing northwest, featuring an axial stack in the second bay from the left end, an external stack on the right end, and a single bay of a late medieval hall house behind the left bay. A single-storey lean-to extension is present in the rear angle, alongside a large 20th-century extension to the left. The house is two storeys high, with four 20th-century casement windows on the ground floor and six 20th-century casement windows on the first floor. A 20th-century door is set within a lean-to porch. The roof is half-hipped at both ends, with grouped diagonal shafts on the main stack.

The single bay at the rear retains a chamfered axial beam with step stops, joists (plastered to the soffits) borne by pegged clamps, jowled posts, and a roof rebuilt in the 17th century, with some re-used smoke-blackened rafters. Within the main building, the left bay exhibits a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops, while the right section has two chamfered transverse beams with bar stops, and plain, horizontally sectioned joists throughout. The house contains two large wood-burning hearths: the left hearth includes an oven door but no oven, and the right hearth has a chamfered mantel beam with bar stops. Other features include jowled posts and heavy framing. A late 18th-century corner cupboard, with a spherical top and shaped shelves (slightly altered), is also present.
