Hook End Farmhouse

Hook End Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1580, with extensions added in the 17th and 20th centuries. It is timber-framed, with a plastered and weatherboarded exterior, and a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house has two bays facing northwest, featuring an axial stack at the right end. Originally extended, this area is now enclosed by a one-bay extension from the 17th century. To the left is a two-bay cross-wing, which was originally jettied at the front and formed a rectangular plan at ground level; it has since been extended forward by the underbuilding of the jetty. There is also a single-storey extension from the 20th century on the right, along with a single-storey lean-to extension at the rear, which spans the entire width of the house and has a felt roof.

The building stands two storeys tall. On the ground floor, there are three 20th-century casement windows, while the first floor features four late 19th-century casements. A 20th-century door is set within a gabled porch. Each corner of the former jetty is supported by a brick pier. The ground floor is plastered, while the first floor is weatherboarded, except at the rear. There is a buttress at the rear, positioned at the second post from the left end.

Inside, the original structure includes jowled posts, heavy studding, and curved braces that are trenched inside the studding, with tension braces at the front and arched braces at the side. The beams are chamfered and feature short lamb's tongue stops, with plain joists of horizontal section. The 17th-century extension has unjowled posts and primary straight bracing, along with a chamfered transverse beam that also has lamb's tongue stops, and plain joists of vertical section. The roof is fully ceiled. A wide wood-burning hearth faces to the left, with jambs measuring 0.33 meters and a chamfered mantel beam with lamb's tongue stops, alongside a 20th-century grate to the right. On the first floor, behind the stack, there is a pine ledged door made of three planks, likely from the 18th century.
