Description
Snoreham Hall Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1570, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof covered with handmade red clay tiles. The main range of the house faces north and consists of two long bays and one short middle bay, featuring an internal stack in the short bay that has been truncated below roof level. There is a 19th-century internal stack in the left bay and a 20th-century external stack at the front. To the right is a two-bay crosswing, which has an external stack dating from around 1600. The farmhouse has 20th-century single-storey lean-to extensions at the front, right, and rear. It stands two storeys high with attics and has various 20th-century windows. The front features a half-glazed door within a large 20th-century lean-to porch.
The structure includes jowled posts with steps at half-height that are chamfered with step stops. Inside, there is close studding exposed in the gable of the crosswing, along with chamfered axial and transverse beams that have step stops, and joists that are plastered to the soffits. The attic floor in the crosswing is from the early 17th century and features a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops. There is a large wood-burning hearth in the middle bay of the main range, which is blocked, and another large wood-burning hearth in the crosswing that has been reduced for a 20th-century grate. The roof of the main range has been almost entirely rebuilt in the 19th century, and the roof of the rear bay of the crosswing was also rebuilt during that time, while the remainder appears to retain its original clasped purlin construction. The interior has been significantly altered with inserted partitions and some imitation framing, but the original frame remains largely intact.
