Great Tickenhurst Farmhouse

Great Tickenhurst Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid-17th century. It is constructed of red brick in English bond with a plain tiled roof and has an L-shaped plan. The entrance front features two storeys on a plinth with a plat band, kneelered parapet gables, and chimney stacks to the left and centre right. There is a projecting two-storey wing to the left, which has a single-storey extension at the end. On the first floor, there are two wooden casements on each wing, and on the ground floor, there is one wooden casement to the left and two to the right, along with ground floor openings, including one blocked opening, that have basket-arched heads. The left-hand wing and the end left extension have boarded doors. The original entrance front is now at the rear, featuring a two-storey porch with a shaped gable and a fine shaped gable with a pediment on the northern elevation, which is the apex of the two wings. Inside, large scantling ceiling joists and some close-studded partitions suggest that the building may have an earlier timber-framed origin. The main wing includes inglenooks and a flagstone floor.
