Litttle Maydekin

Little Maydekin is a house dating from the early 17th century, which was restored in the late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in English bond on a flint plinth, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building has one storey and an attic, sitting on a plinth, and features a hipped roof with a large gablet on the left side. There are stacks located to the right and at the rear left. The house includes two hipped dormers and a central gabled dormer, along with two unequally sized two-storey gables on the right. Throughout the structure, there are stone mullioned windows, with a total of four window bays. A plank and stud door is positioned to the centre left within a gabled porch that has a brick label hood and a sundial. The rear elevation features gabled wings and large 20th-century dormers. This building, or the 17th-century portions of the nearby Maydekin, was built around 1630 as a dower house for Broome Park in Barham.
