Hawthorn The Quomp

This is a mid-18th century farmhouse, later altered in the 19th and 20th centuries, and now divided into three dwellings. The front of the building is brick, rendered and partly painted, with an old plain tile roof and a slate roof on a later addition. It is two storeys high, in an "L" shape, with a four-bay front and a lower, four-bay wing extending to the rear along The Quomp. A taller 19th-century bay has been added to the end of this rear wing. The front has an open-fronted, square-plan rendered brick porch sheltering a six-panel, top-lit door. Four-pane flush frame sash windows are found above the door and in other bays, with French windows in the left-hand bay. Eaves are offset. A gable wall on the right-hand end features a stack, and a ridge stack sits between the left-hand bays. The roof is hipped on the left-hand side. The wing along The Quomp features a blocked opening in the end of the front range. Number 45, adjacent to the main house, has a central 19th-century half-glazed door with a fanlight, and small sashes on either side. Number 43, also of two bays plus an added 19th-century bay, is painted. It has a 19th-century four-panel door between the bays, an eight-pane sash on each floor in one bay and a high-set casement in the other. The added 19th-century bay features a five-panel door, a two-light casement beside the door and a tall two-light casement above. Stacks are located at each end of the original wing. Rendered arches feature over all openings. On the first floor, two large 20th-century casements are visible.
