Description
Yeomans House is a late 15th-century Wealden house that was restored by Sir Herbert Baker and given to The National Trust in 1931. The ground floor is now constructed of brick and timber, plastered over. The first floor at the low south end is jettied and weatherboarded, while the higher north end was rebuilt in 1930 to accommodate a 16th-century floor taken from the hall, which is now open to the ridge. The roof is tiled and features a moulded tie-beam, curved braces, and an octagonal crown post. The hall windows are fitted with wooden diagonal mullions, and a 16th-century oriel window has been re-set in the high end. Inside, oak doors have been reused in the original four-centred arched service doorways. The chimney stack was rebuilt in the 20th century.
