Sadleirs End

Sadleirs End is a house dating from the early 16th century, with a chimney and floor added in the 17th century. It features a brick casing and a large west gable chimney with an oven, which is dated '1719' on a plaster panel above the door. The top of the west chimney has been removed, and a gabled northwest rear extension was added around 1970. The house is timber-framed on a flint sill, with red brick infill panels, and has Flemish-bond brickwork on the front and west end, as well as in the rear extensions. The steep roofs are covered with old red tiles.

The building is two stories high and has three windows across its south-facing front. There are recessed panels above the door, which is located a third of the way from the west end, leading into a lobby-entry next to a large internal stack that previously had a winding stair behind it. The south front features a chamfered plinth, a plat-band, and box eaves, with the plat-band extending across the west gable at eaves level. The first floor has three two-light flush Yorkshire sliding casements with small panes, while the ground floor has two-light flush casements and French doors to the right of a six-panel fielded door, which has a flat moulded hood supported by shaped brackets.

Originally built as a three-bay framed structure, it has heavy jowled posts and curved tension braces that are not visible from the exterior. The roof is a clasped-purlin design with straight wind-braces. An inserted floor in the middle bay is supported by a chamfered axial beam, with stops and chamfers on the joists and fireplace lintel, which has an ogee profile. The plain squared joists on the axial beams in the end bays appear to be later additions. The 17th-century chimney was constructed on the east side of the west bay, while the larger fireplace and oven added to the former west gable in 1719 occupies the full depth of the house.
