Oak Tree Farmhouse

Oak Tree Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from around 1600. It is two storeys high with attics and features a two-cell lobby entrance at the front. The core of the building is timber-framed, with the front covered in 19th-century white brick and the remaining walls encased in red brick. The roof is finished with 20th-century concrete pantiles.

Inside, there is an internal chimney stack with four attached hexagonal shafts and small moulded brick heads at the base, similar to those found at Willingham Hall and the Manor House in Walberswick. The house has 20th-century cross windows and a glazed porch, along with one early 19th-century pointed Gothic window at the north end. The timber framing is exposed inside, and both ground-floor rooms have plain ceilings with stepped stops and grooves to the joists. One room features an open fireplace with remnants of a timber lintel, while another first-floor room has a fireplace with rusticated plastering on the brick arch.

On the ground floor, the rear wall contains an original blocked two-light window with an ovolo-moulded mullion and an original square-headed chamfered doorway. There is a newel stair beside the stack, widely spaced studs, and arched braces at the corners. The original upper ceilings remain intact, along with several well-crafted moulded plank doors. Additionally, there are remains of a 16th-century wing at the rear, which includes one bay with plain heavy joists and an end chimney stack.
