Description
This is a former house, now divided into two dwellings, located in Sandon. The earliest parts of the building date from the early to mid 17th century, with significant extensions and a new facade added in the 19th century, and further alterations in the 20th century. The building is timber-framed with some weatherboarding and roughcast render, alongside stock brick and whitewashed areas. It has tiled roofs.
Originally consisting of two rooms, the building now comprises a left-hand section (Partridge Hall Farm Cottage) and a later addition to the right. The left-hand section features 20th-century casement windows within reveals, with ground floor window surrounds having a cambered top. It is largely weatherboarded, with an entrance and casement windows with one or two lights. The roof is steeply pitched, and the rear elevation is roughcast with an entrance, and similar casement windows. A ridge stack, originally at the right end of the earliest part of the house, has been extended to run along the ridge of a later, two-bay, two-storey addition. This addition has similar windows and a shallower roof pitch. A parallel block was added to the rear of the 19th-century bays.
The right-hand end of the building has twin gables, external brick stacks with moulded caps to paired octagonal shafts and cusped bargeboards. A central entrance features a rectangular fanlight.
Internally, the left-hand section (Partridge Hall Farm Cottage) displays features of the original 17th-century construction, including stop-chamfered axial binding beams, a fireplace lintel, exposed jowled posts, cambered tie beams, and a clasped purlin roof.
