Stoneacre

House. Dating from approximately 1450, this is a 3-bay hall-house with a 17th-century chimney and floor inserted, and a late 17th-century refronting and 20th-century replacement windows. The timber-framed building is refronted partly in painted brick on a plinth, with the right-hand bay constructed of flint and painted brick. It has a thatched roof, half-hipped to the right end, featuring an off-centre brick chimneystack. The house is one storey high with attics, displaying four windows. The windows are 20th-century metal-framed casements with diamond leaded lights, and there's a similar attic window within an eyebrow dormer. A 20th-century porch, supported by a square wooden pier with a swept roof, has a Tudor-style oak door. An “S” shaped iron tie is visible at the right-hand end while the rear has a catslide roof. The roof structure includes clasped purlins, curved raking struts, and windbraces over the central bay (now hidden by modern insulation). A gablet remains to the left, and the roof timbers of the end bays show significant smoke blackening. The lowest layer of thatching is composed of hops. Interior features include jowled upright posts with substantial curved braces rising from the posts to the wall plate. A bressumer runs below a tie beam in the open hall, serving as a door head to provide greater headroom in the loft space. It is likely that all three bays originally formed the house; the central bay was the hall from the start, the right-hand bay the original parlour and the left-hand bay potentially part of an earlier structure due to heavier timber scantling.
