Church End House 55 metres south east of church

Church End House is a house likely dating to the early 17th century or earlier, with a front range that has been rebuilt and extended in the early 18th century. It sits 55 metres southeast of the church in Little Hadham. Initially listed under Chapel Lane, the house retains a three-unit plan, with a central chimney at the upper end of the middle room and an external gable chimney to the north. A further bay was added to the south, and alterations were made in the 19th century.

A two-storey and cellar rear range was added in the 17th century, featuring parallel pitched roofs which create a row of six gables to the rear. The rear range is timber-framed and plastered, while the middle wall features heavy pine timber framing. The front range and a 19th-century extension have red brick gable and front walls. The roofs are steeply pitched with old red tiles, with a parapet gable at the north end and a cusped bargeboard at the south. The asymmetrical design places the entrance closer to the north end. A central chimney, which was removed after the addition of the external gable chimney and the south extension, was originally disused. Upper floor partition doors were previously arranged along the front wall, but 19th-century alterations have created a passage at the rear.

The east front, dating to the early 18th century, is constructed of red brick now painted white, and features four windows. It has a plinth, floor band, and a moulded wooden eaves cornice. Giant order brick pilasters flank each corner, complete with a moulded brick base, cap, and a section of frieze below the projecting cornice. A surviving blind recess with a gauged flat arch marks the former location of a central stack. Later 19th-century alterations have widened some windows and given others higher segmental heads. The windows are recessed sash windows with 6/6 panes. The front door, a six-panel design, is situated below the second window from the north. A two-storey, 19th-century extension is located on the south. A flat-roofed porch with a panelled soffit and two wooden, moulded columns without entasis is positioned in front of the door. A triple sash window is located to the right of the porch on the ground floor. Two 18th-century flat-topped, two-storey canted bay windows are situated at the rear, featuring dentilled cornices and 4/4:6/6:4/4 sash windows. The south window on the ground floor has been expanded.

The interior reveals stop-chamfered spine beams and square section joists in the kitchen (the south end of the rear range). The entrance hall is panelled in the 18th century, with a moulded dado and cornice. Numerous 18th-century two-panel doors are present, featuring HL hinges, including one door on the first floor with moulded raised and fielded panels. A small gabled dormer on the rear slope of the front range provides light to the attic.

The house is of particular interest for its double-pile construction, featuring alternate rebuilding at the front and rear, and for the remarkable 18th-century construction of the middle wall with lofty pine uprights, which are now partially exposed.
