The Hall House At No 2 The Stables

The Hall House at No. 2 The Stables is a late 15th-century hall house that has since been used as a barn and is currently empty. It features a timber frame with a tile roof, showcasing mostly exposed timber framing along with some partial weatherboarding. There is a partially removed cat-slide extension on the north side.

The interior consists of three bays, with the two western bays originally forming the hall. Adjacent to this is a former cross-passage, and the eastern end serves as the service bay. The north wall frame includes wall posts, a wall plate, and bay length rails for two bays, which have grooves for shutters and diamond mullion mortises from a former window. The south wall frame also has wall posts and a wall plate. The west wall frame features a tie-beam, which lacks mortises on the underside, suggesting it communicated with a now-missing cross-wing, along with jowled corner posts and a roof truss. The east wall frame has jowled corner posts, with redundant mortises indicating a missing end bay. The central frame includes a chamfered tie-beam, chamfered jowled wall posts, and a roof truss. There is a frame dividing the bay to the east, with a tie beam and chamfered jowled posts towards the hall end. The roof trusses have a tie beam and two studs to the collar, supporting a single row of clasped purlins, with slightly curved windbraces in the eastern bays. Several timbers are numbered, and there are redundant stave holes in the wall frame.

Originally a late 15th-century hall house, it was re-erected nearby for use as a barn, possibly after the construction of the Grade II* listed Redheath, and retains a readable frame predominantly from the late 15th century.
