Hayling Cottage The Beams

Hayling Cottage, known as The Beams, is a house with later additions, likely dating to the late 16th century, and modified in the 19th and 20th centuries. It now forms two separate dwellings. The central section is timber-framed and has a rough rendered finish, with a plain tile roof and a red brick stack. The house is two storeys high, with lower additions on either side. Modern casement windows are present throughout, and entrances have been added in later additions. The roof is steeply pitched. The interior of The Beams, the left-hand section of the original range, comprises a two-storey area that appears to have originally been three bays wide. Features include jowled posts on the first floor, a tie beam with arched braces, a studded partition wall, diamond mullion mortices to the front wall plate, and a shutter groove. The later additions to each side of the house are of no particular architectural interest.
