Maydekin

Maydekin is a house dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, with alterations made in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of red brick, with the left return elevation and rear wing being tile hung and partially rendered. The building features a plain tiled roof and has an L-shaped plan. It stands two storeys high with an attic, set on a plinth with brick corbelled eaves. There are stacks at the left end and projecting at the right end, along with three hipped dormers. The front has a regular arrangement of five sash windows on the first floor and four on the ground floor, all with segmental heads. The central entrance door consists of six panels and has a traceried rectangular fanlight above, sheltered by a flat hood supported on consoles. The rear wing also has two storeys and an attic, featuring three hipped dormers and a large central stack, with an irregular arrangement of glazing bar sashes and wooden casements. It is believed that either this building or Little Maydekin was originally built in 1630 as a Dower House for Broome Park.
