Part Of Former House And Attached Garden Wall Approximatley 15 Metres South Of Toppinghoe Hall

This structure is part of a late 16th century house and an attached garden wall, located approximately 15 meters south of Toppinghoe Hall. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish stretcher bond and consists of two remaining walls that face northwest and southwest, featuring two external stacks on the southwest wall. Originally, the building was two storeys with an attic.

The northwest gable end has an original five-light window on both the ground and first floors, which includes ovolo-moulded jambs, mullions, and a transom, with a square head and moulded label, although it is now blocked. In the attic gable, there is a three-light window with similar detailing. The gable also features a diagonal pinnacle.

On the southwest elevation, there is a two-light transomed window on the ground floor and two similar windows on the first floor, along with an altered stair window at half-height. A central doorway with a blocked four-centred arched head is also present. Inside this wall, there are fireplaces on each floor, both featuring moulded four-centred arches and chamfered jambs, along with traces of original plaster.

As of January 1985, the building had no roof or floor, and the northwest gable end was supported by timber. The southeast gable end and the upper part of the southern corner have been demolished in recent years with permission. Extending northwest from the northwest corner is a garden wall approximately 6 meters long and 2 meters high, which includes one gateway, a plinth of cut brick, and renewed coping. The southwest side of the wall features two recesses, one of which forms a nesting hole, while the other, lacking a timber lintel, may have been a bee bole.
