Description
Honours Farm is a farmhouse that has been converted into a private house. It dates back to the 16th century, with the west bay added in the early 17th century, and the east bay was raised to two storeys in 1972. The structure features a timber frame resting on a red brick sill, with the front covered in red brick and the ground floor at the rear also in red brick. The upper part of the rear wall has red brick infill to the exposed frame, while the west gable end is weatherboarded. The northeast outshut has flint rubble walls, and the building is topped with steep old red tile roofs.
The house is long, two storeys high, and has four windows facing south, set back from the road. It features three-light wooden casement windows with leaded glazing, which have been renewed. There is a small gable over the upper window in the lower east part. A half-glazed door leads into the east bay of the original two-storey, two-cell house, which has an internal-chimney plan. This section includes a four-flue chimney that extends to the front wall, with a staircase located to the north of it against the rear wall.
Inside, the house has axial floor beams with hollow stops to the chamfers and squared joists, similar to those in the 17th-century west bay. The walls include curved braces and a shutter groove for an unglazed window on the first floor at the rear. The structure features jowled posts and a clasped-purlin roof with curved wind-braces and strutted-collar trusses. The walls have wide-spaced studs. Additionally, there is a cast iron Boxmoor grazing rights plaque numbered 183, which is said to have originally had two plaques as it represented two properties at the time of their issue in the 19th century.
