Description
Tylers Farmhouse is a hall house that dates back to the early 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is roughcast rendered and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The main hall block, constructed in the early 17th century, is two storeys high and oriented approximately northeast to southwest, with its front facing southeast. There are two crosswings from the 16th century that are jet-tied at the front. The building has three chimney stacks from the 19th century, located in the middle of the hall block and in each crosswing.
A small two-storey extension was added to the southwest crosswing in the 20th century, along with a flat-roofed single-storey extension to the rear of the northeast crosswing. The farmhouse has a door with two lights and three casement windows on both the ground and first floors, all dating from the 19th century. Inside, some framing is exposed, with most of the visible framing on the ground floor being from the 20th century or re-sited old timber, while the first floor generally retains its original framing.
In the southwest crosswing, there are arched braces that rise from posts to wallplates and tiebeams inside the studs, which are not trenched. The northeast wallplate features an edge-halved and bridled scarf joint. The roof has queen struts with curved wind bracing to clasped purlins. In the northeast crosswing, there is a blocked unglazed window in the northeast wall, and curved tension bracing that is trenched inside the studs, terminating on the studs in the front elevation, known as 'Suffolk bracing'. The roof here also has queen struts with curved wind bracing to clasped purlins.
Originally, this house was a true medieval hall house with two crosswings that differ slightly in construction and date, with the northeast crosswing being the earlier of the two, both built in the 16th century. In the early 17th century, the hall was rebuilt as a two-storey hall block, reusing sooted roof components from the earlier hall, and featuring a clasped purlin roof. In the early 19th century, the building was converted into three cottages, each with a central chimney stack, before being recombined into a single house.
