The Hassocks

The Hassocks is a house dating from the mid 17th century and 1685, constructed from rendered clay lump and brick, featuring pantiled and lap tiled roofs. It has a T-shaped plan, with the stem dating from the mid 17th century. The building is two storeys high with an attic and likely originally had a lobby entrance. On the left side of the main facade, there is a three-light cross mullioned timber casement window on each floor, with smaller occasional windows on the right. The roof is gabled with a central ridge stack. The rear of the house has a variety of ordered but scattered casement windows of different sizes, all with original glazing. The entrance is now positioned left of centre and there is one gabled dormer. An extension was added to the north in 1919. The main facade, dating from 1685, is made of brick and features two storeys. It has a central door with round-headed glazing beneath a flat lintel, flanked by one cross mullioned timber casement window on either side, and three more on the first floor, all under flat gauged brick lintels. There is a string course of moulded brick and a metoped eaves cornice. The roof is gabled with a low parapet on kneelers and includes internal gable stacks.
