Kellinghams

This is a hall house, dating from the 14th century, with significant alterations in the 16th century and further changes in the 20th century. The house is timber-framed with brick infill and has old tile gabled roofs. It is arranged in an H-plan, originally featuring a 2-bay hall with a cross passage on the north side, and two 3-bay cross wings which were formerly jettied on the west and are now underbuilt. There are gabled extensions to the east. The house is two storeys high. It has five chimneys, one on the ridge with three coupled shafts, all topped with small gabled details. Windows are largely C19 and C20 leaded casements.

The west front has a central section with a one-bay gabled cross wing projecting on each side, the one on the right being more prominent. The gables were formerly jettied, with close studding and carved bargeboards featuring Tudor rose motifs. The left gable has a 2-light window on the first floor and a 3-light window on the ground floor, with large tension braces. The right gable has a 3-light window on each floor. The central section has been partly underbuilt in brick. A 4-light window is in the centre of the first floor, with a 6-light window below it to the right. A 2-light window sits on the ground floor to the left. A C20 entrance door is on the south front.

The interior retains much of the original timber frame, with large braces and joists visible. Parts of the chamfered door frames remain at the ends of the cross passage and toward the service end on the north side. A C16 stone fireplace with a chamfered four-centred arched opening and a carved mantel featuring pineapple and foliage decoration is located in the lounge. The north cross wing has a collar purlin roof with plain crown posts, one braced twice to the collar purlin. The hall roof shows signs of soot and originally resembled the cross wing's roof, with remaining collars and later queen posts, likely dating to the 16th century, replacing the original crown posts.
