17, Holloway Road

This is an early 17th-century house located on Holloway Road, Heybridge, Maldon. The house is timber-framed and has been rendered, with a gabled roof covered in plain tiles. An original rear wall stack remains. The exterior is two storeys high with a single-window front. A monopitched single-storey extension extends from the rear at a right angle. The front of the property has large rendered panels, incorporating sash windows with two vertical glazing bars and moulded surrounds on both the ground and first floors. The north-west flank features decorative 19th-century bargeboards and a finial, along with sash windows on both floors and a 19th-century door consisting of four moulded panels over a single flush panel, with a hood supported by consoles. The south-east flank has a rendered brick parapet to the gable, which returns as a flat parapet to the rear monopitched extension. The interior retains two bays of early 17th-century timber framing, displaying jowled posts and wall bracing, slightly raised in the early 19th century. Each bay also features chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
