Boyton Hall At Tm 382 464

Boyton Hall is a farmhouse located off Mill Lane in Boyton. It dates back to the 17th century, with early 19th-century additions. The original 17th-century section is timber framed and covered with colour-washed render, while the late 18th-century part is made of colour-washed brick. The building has plain tile roofs, with the earlier section originally thatched.

The farmhouse has a double-depth plan and consists of two storeys with attics. The 17th-century part features a three-cell baffle-entry plan, which has been altered over time. The front of the house, which was originally the entrance, displays some panels of simple pargetting on the wall surface and has 20th-century windows. A 19th-century doorway on the far right has four flush panels. To the right and left of this door are two-light casement windows, and further left is a four-light casement window. There are two single-light casements to the left of centre, replacing the former door to the baffle-entry lobby, followed by a three-light and a two-light casement window. On the first floor, there are three three-light casement windows and two single-light casements to the left of centre. A lead sun firemark is positioned to the right of centre. The roof features an axial stack with four flues on the left and a 20th-century single-flue stack on the right.

The left end of the building has a double gable with an early 19th-century wing that includes a door with six raised and fielded panels set in a panelled surround, topped with a rectangular fanlight and an iron doorknocker. Above this door is a first-floor window with three by four sash panes, and there is a three-light casement window in the attic. The right gable end, which is part of the 17th-century section, has 20th-century windows, including two single-light windows at ground level and a two-light casement in the gable.

At the rear, the early 19th-century section projects to the right and has sash windows with four by four panes on both the ground and first floors. The 17th-century portion is recessed to the left, and in the angle between the two sections is a late 19th-century addition with 20th-century glazing. The rear of the 17th-century portion also features renewed 20th-century windows.

Inside, the 17th-century section has chamfered ceiling beams, wall posts, and close studding in the ground and first-floor rooms. The roof was replaced in the 19th century.
