Hulls Farmhouse

Hulls Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th to 17th century, with early 20th-century alterations and an extension on the left side. It is timber framed and features hanging cedar shingles, along with red plain tiled roofs. The building has a central chimney stack on the left range and an attached square shaft on the right range. The left range is taller and of 20th-century construction, while the original right side includes a rear wing. The house has two storeys and a window arrangement of one window with two lights and two windows with three lights, all featuring small paned vertically sliding sashes. Inside, there are original features such as a chimney stack now fitted with 20th-century fireplaces, stop-chamfered bridging joists, and square section ceiling beams. There is a 17th-century three-boarded door and vertically boarded doors, along with an 18th-century corner cupboard. The rear wing has a cambered tie beam. William Dunningham, a yeoman, lived here in 1796, as noted by F.H. Erith in "Ardleigh in 1796," published in 1978.
