Description
Chandlers Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 15th century, which was extended, floored, and heated in the 17th century. It features part brick casing from the 18th century and further extensions and alterations from the 20th century. The structure is timber-framed with red brick nogging and casing, topped with tiled roofs.
The house has a two-bay open hall with a lower cross wing, and a 17th-century upper cross wing added. It is one storey and attic high, with two-storey wings. The entrance is located at the right end of the hall and features a 20th-century gabled porch. The windows are 20th-century casements, including a three-light window with a cambered head and a three-light dormer with a moulded gable.
The original wing to the right has a slightly higher ridge and was probably jettied originally. It includes two-light casements and exposed rail, studs, tie beam, and struts to collar clasping purlins. The 17th-century two-bay cross wing to the left has a shallower pitch to the roof, two-light casements, and exposed framing. The left return features a ground floor 20th-century canted bay and first-floor exposed framing with a brace and three casements.
There is an original external stack at the rear gable end, with a base that has offsets incorporated into a tall lean-to outshut. A catslide roof covers a continuous lean-to outshut at the rear of the hall, which includes a 17th-century extruded stack with a large base and a window that tapers up to the cap. The right return has exposed framing and an early 19th-century external stack towards the front, featuring a large base and an oven that steps up to a narrow flue. The first floor has a two-light casement with glazing bars and a moulded frame. The entrance to the rear is where the cross wing joins a long 20th-century addition under a continuous roof.
Inside, the original crown post roof is noted, while the 17th-century wing has a clasped purlin roof with windbraces.
