Description
Mission Hall Cottage and Estate Office at Watersplace Farm, located south of the B1004, is a group of buildings that includes a mission hall and two attached houses, with the hall currently serving as an estate office. Built in the 1860s by Alfred Waterhouse for the Easneye Estate of T. F. Buxton, the structure is made of red brick and features a red tiled roof.
The two-storey, T-shaped group faces east, with the mission hall forming a crosswing at the north end. The gabled hall has a large terra-cotta coat of arms in the bargeboarded gable, a central gabled open timber porch, and two-light casement windows at two levels. Extending to the south is a one and a half storey, half-hipped house range that has a tall central chimney with diagonally set shafts at each end of a wide middle stack. The house features two-light casement windows under flat arches, and the upper floor windows rise through the eaves as cabled dormers with bargeboards. This building is an unusual combination of estate buildings.
