Description

This is a Wealden hall-house dating to the 15th century, with significant alterations to the exterior in the early and early to mid-19th centuries. The house has brick walls; the north wing is of red brick with blue headers, while the south wing also incorporates blue headers. The roofs are hipped and tiled, with brick stacks. The north wing's front elevation features a window to the left and above a recessed doorway with a cast-iron fanlight. The door itself is made of six moulded and fielded panels. The south wing has a lower eaves line, with a dormer window in the left bay and a window above and below in the right bay. A further doorway is present in the south return elevation.

The interior retains three bays of the original Wealden hall: the upper hall bay, most of the low bay, and the front parlour. The front parlour exhibits plain, heavy joists and one bracket. A halved and bridled scarf is visible on the rear wall plate, and part of the upper section of a hall window is exposed. One end of a hall partition remains, along with a moulded dais beam. Much of the smoke-blackened hall roof is complete, including a moulded octagonal crown-post with capital and base on an ogee and hollow-moulded tie-beam. An inserted floor, likely from the early 17th century, is present within the low bay of the open hall. The building is believed to have been the main house of the Bishop of Rochester's Manor of Halling.
