Drapers Farm House

Drapers Farm House is a house that likely dates from the 15th or early 16th century, with extensions from the 17th century and many alterations since. It features a timber frame, roughcast exterior with some brick facing on the ground floor, and a tiled roof. The house has a single-ended open hall with a cross wing at the upper end and is now two storeys high. There are scattered timber casement windows with one, two, and three lights. The entrance has a timber porch located in a slightly lower extension at the lower end of the hall, aligned on the same axis. This extension has a gablet in its roof. At the upper end, there is a two-storey gabled staircase projection on the entrance front, and a ridge stack is situated at the junction of the hall and the cross wing. A 20th-century extension on the garden front is not of special interest. Inside, despite numerous alterations, there is an original cambered hollow chamfered tie beam to the central open truss, with hollow chamfered curved braces still intact. There is also a massive brick chimney breast and fireplaces, which are likely from the 17th century.
