Description
Lamarsh Hall Farmhouse is a house dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, with extensions added in the 16th and 17th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, featuring exposed framing on the front elevation and a roof covered with red clay tiles. The original structure consists of two bays facing south, built in the 14th century, with a 16th-century external chimney stack at the right end. To the right is a two-bay extension from the early 17th century, which includes an additional back-to-back chimney stack. There is also a late 16th-century rear extension from the original block, complete with an external chimney stack at the end.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has five 20th-century casement windows on the ground floor and four on the first floor. The original two bays are jettied, showcasing exposed joists and 20th-century reproduction brackets. The main stack features grouped diagonal shafts. The entrance is located in the left return wall, accessed through a 20th-century porch that incorporates reused medieval and reproduction elements.
Inside, the original building contains high axial beams and exposed plain joists of horizontal section, all constructed from heavy materials. There is a rear doorway with a four-centred arched head. On the first floor, original rebated boards can be found, along with a rear doorway featuring a three-centred arched head and a chamfered mantel beam with lamb's tongue stops. The right extension includes a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops, plain joists of horizontal section, a first-floor hearth with a depressed brick arch, and a clasped purlin roof with straight wind-bracing. The ground floor of the rear extension is adorned with 18th-century pine panelling.
