Haylands

This is a house, dating from the 17th century, with additions and alterations made in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a bell-cast hipped roof covered in peg tiles. The plan is rectangular, with a 19th-century block running parallel to the rear. A timber-framed section to the east is excluded from the listing.

The south front elevation, which is the primary facade, features an 18th-century chimney stack on the west side, with its top rebuilt in the 19th century. It has three bays, with a central 20th-century shallow porch, having a reeded door frame under felted gables. The front door is six panels, with the upper two glazed and the lower four flush. A matching two-panel door with glazing is on the east side of the frame. Flanking the door are triple sash windows, with glazing bars arranged in a 1x4, 3x4, and 1x4 pane pattern. The window heads are accentuated by thick, 20th-century rendering mimicking voussoir shapes. The first floor has three similarly treated sash windows, each with 3x4 panes. Two dormer windows are present, with early 20th-century casements and 4x4 pane glazing.

The rear, north, elevation shows the 19th-century block, with a centrally placed stack. The roof is hipped. The first floor has two sash windows with 3x4 pane glazing. The ground floor has three 20th-century additions: a rendered, hipped-roof structure to the west with a stack and a glazed door with 3x3 pane glazing; a flat-roofed extension in the center with imitation timbering and a 2-light casement with 8x4 pane glazing; and a hipped-roof extension to the east with a boarded door, a single-light casement window, and a 20th-century stack.

The west end elevation displays both 18th and 19th-century brickwork. The 18th-century block and stack are partly rendered. The ground floor features a fully glazed 20th-century door with 3x5 pane glazing. The first floor has a 19th-century sash window with horns and 2x4 pane glazing. The 19th-century block features a segment-headed sash window with exposed sash boxes and 4x4 pane glazing on the ground floor, and a sash window with exposed sash boxes and 3x4 pane glazing on the first floor. A 20th-century single-story addition is located at the north end.

The interior has undergone considerable rebuilding, including a central staircase. The west end of the 18th-century block reveals remnants of an earlier 17th-century timber-framed house on both the ground and first floors, including a center post and middle rail. A second post and wall plate are visible on the rear north wall of the first floor. A 19th-century sliding window shutter is present on a ground-floor window at the west end of the 19th-century block. Old ceiling joists are found in an east-facing first-floor room of the 18th-century block. Where the staircase/corridor passes between the 18th and 19th-century blocks on the first floor, an 18th-century softwood eaves plate is revealed, showing a face halved scarf with skewed butts and two edge pegs. Haylands is grouped with Little Oakhurst and Nunns.
