1/8 Meadow Farmhouse

II

Former farmhouse. C16. 2 storeys: 3-cell lobby entrance plan. Timber-framed and rendered, with a thatched roof. An internal chimney-stack with 3 attached square chimneys, rebuilt with old bricks. 3-light cast iron casement windows: those to the ground storey larger, with a cross-bar and replacement square leading; old leaded panes to the upper storey. C20 enclosed, gabled porch with plain bargeboards. Framing exposed inside: widely-spaced substantial studs, main beams with 3" chamfer, considerable reconstruction of the fireplaces. The service end of the house may have been divided into 2: the ceiling has been replaced, but there are the remains of doorways with arched spandrels, some fake. At the west end of the house there is a high, 7-light window on the ground storey in the gable end wall, with hollow-chamfer mouldings to the replacement mullions, and a corresponding window on the upper floor with diamond mullion housings. On the front wall, a blocked 4-light window with diamond mullions in situ. A newel stair to the front of the stack within the lobby.
